Workshop Announcement
Networking Air Quality Observations and Models
Stomorska, Island Šolta, Croatia, 23-25 August 2011
Data portals, science teams and decisions support systems address the needs of air quality
management and science communities but data exchange among these systems is impeded
by a number of obstacles. The GEOSS interoperability arrangements and data sharing
principles offer an opportunity to connect the existing air quality data systems into an
interoperable network for seamless data access. The self organised GEO Air Quality
Community of Practice invites members of these communities for a workshop to advance
the networking of air quality observations and models by identifying the sharable datasets,
assessing the state-of-the-art on interoperability practices with a focus on technical and
Programmatic issues.
Preliminary Agenda
Tuesday,23 Aug: State of AQ Interoperability
Participant presentations: Existing services, Integrating Initiatives, Agencies, ‘End Users’
Users and providers: defining your roles and needs

Semantic issues: Metadata for finding and understanding, CF, ISO)
Programmatic issues: Data access/use constrains, quality control, data versioning, etc.)
Thursday, 25 Aug: Outcomes. Consensus? Next?
Summary of Tuesday discussions: What are the common technical hurdles?
Conclusions: What are the short-term opportunities? How can we collaborate? Do we have
Common long-term goals and visions?
The workshop will be held in Stomorska on the island Šolta, adjacent to Split, Croatia. Split is
reachable by air from many European cities, by freeway and by ferry from Ancona, Italy. The
small;town atmosphere of Stomorska is conducive for relaxed deliberations, an opportunity
to get to know each other or have fun exploring ‘the Mediterranean as it used to be’. See the
workshop wiki for additional information in the near future:
