Introduction and Purpose[edit | edit source]
Refine Air Quality Data System Vision and Goals[edit | edit source]
Continue communications started at the data summit[edit | edit source]
- Improved system interoperability and efficiencies
- Reducing redundancies
- Increase awareness of existing systems

Advise EPA and other organizations on Air Quality Data System IT Issues[edit | edit source]
Process for moving forward[edit | edit source]
- Conference calls, wiki, etc.
Typical Applications of Data Systems[edit | edit source]
Data systems needs to be designed to support both current as well as unknown future applications. Typical current applications are listed below. However, there is an outstanding question: What do we mean by 'End Users' of data systems? Tech-savy analysts who manipulate the data? Domain expert analysts who interpret and analyze the data? Policy/management analysts who interpret data for policy/management decision-makers? Management decision makers themselves?
