Content transferred from Community Air Quality Data Systems Strategy Word doc by Rich Scheffe, March 05, 2008
Introduction and purpose
Refine air quality data system vision and goals
Continue communications started at the data summit
Improved system interoperability and efficiencies
Reducing redundancies
Increase awareness of existing systems
Client and user group identification
Solicit advice on assessment approaches and system evolution
Advise EPA and other organizations on Air quality data base IT issues
Process for moving forward
Conference calls, wiki, etc.
Inventory of current air quality data bases
Largely based on current wiki information (pre summit inputs and presentations)
Inventory of data enabling or hub systems
As above
Mapping system connections and communications (based on 2 and 3)
Spreadsheet (S. Falke’s) matrix and schematic(s) of system inflows and outflows
Tabular condensing of system attributes
Desired features/attributes in data bases and systems
recommended data formatting and interface protocols
preferred data manipulation and visualization attributes
Assessment of system strengths and weaknesses
=== Compare systems with attributes defined in (5) === EPA systems assessment === External
