About the Workshop

What is the workshop theme? What is the ADN? Who needs the ADN? What will be discussed? Who are the WS participants? What is the Air Quality CoP? What are likely outputs? What are likely outcomes?

Technical realization and expansion of the Air quality Data Network (ADN) for sharing observations and models A non-intrusive standards-based network infrastructure consisting of distributed servers, clients, catalog and governance The need for data networking is common to Data Portals, Decision Support Systems, Science Teams and other Initiatives The state of ADN including key impediments; co-development of server software and tools; sharing best practices They are practicing data system developers and managers at air quality data hubs in Europe and N. America A self-organized, voluntary group promoting the use of Earth observations for air quality management and science Agreement on community WCS server for grid and point data; catalog; ADN governance; workshop summary Better understanding, higher level of trust and concrete steps toward turning the ADN 'from virtual to real'
