Goals

The Air Quality data landscape is evolving: a number of efforts are underway to improve access to data, make better use of that data for decision support, and build an interoperable system-of-systems to achieve as much as we can with the data we've invested in.

At the ESIP Summer 2009 Meeting we'll convene to

• Review important developments, including
  • Evolution of various systems (new tools, systems discontinued, connections formed)
  • Air quality community infrastructure developed in Phase 2 of the GEO Architecture Implementation Pilot
  • EPA OAQPS review of the AQ data systems they maintain and use
• Review Developing Strategies. EPA would like feedback on OAQPS's evolving Data Systems Strategy, from the larger ESIP community (not just air quality)
• Think about where to go next
  • Are we making progress on the goals from the 2008 Data Summit?
  • What's the next step for the GEO Architecture? Has AQ participation in the AIP been useful? What are the priorities for the next round?
• How do we build community? Feedback sought for the funding and policy crowd
• US agencies are on the hook to show AQ results from GEOSS at the November Washington DC GEO Plenary. We intend to use this as a hook to engage overseas colleagues too. Brainstorm on how to do this.
