This wiki is the collaboration workspace for Topical Workshop, Aug 23-25, 2011, Stomorska, Island Solta, Croatia

Networking Air Quality Observations and Models: From Virtual to Real

Announcement | Registration | Venue | Contacts | Participants


About the Workshop:

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