AirNow in an Network

Traditional air quality information systems provide end-to-end solutions through dedicated ‘Stovepipe’ processing streams However, many formerly closed data systems are now opening up and they share their data – through DataFed or other mediators In a federated approach data are homogenized and augmented with services and tools streams… The federated resources in turn can be fed back into individual project processing streams

The transition from the stovepipe to the networked, service oriented architecture can be gradual and non-disruptive.

The implication and the impediments to the implementation of the AirNOW data system transition are two-fold:

  • The data provided by the AirNOW data system needs to be accessible through standard interfaces, such as
