Architectures and Technologies for Agile, User-Oriented Air Quality Data Systems
A white paper prepared by an ad hoc virtual workgroup using open collaborative tchnologies
Possible presentation venues: GEOSS User Workshop, Jul 2006, Denver; Fall AGU, Dec 2006, San Francisco; HTAP Workshop, Jan 2007, Geneva

.

Current and Near Future AQ Information System of Systems

..Current Situation

Observational an model data are emegrin on the internet; large resitance to usage ; poor integration; Dedicated 'Stove Pipe' Systems -> Stiff and limited decision support

..Near-Term Furure

Diverse users, More sensory/model data-GEOSS; Extensive integration and 'mashing'-Web 2.0; Network effect ->Responsive decisin support

..How Do We Get There?

Interop Experiments; Rapid Prototyping Plaforms; Google (rapid, continuous upgrades, sloppy) or Microsoft (slow, perfection) philosophy?

..Paper purpose and outline

Community assessment of AQ IT; User feedback to GEOSS Architecture; Aid to agency planners
Group Approach: White paper - we all participate; we all use it in for our respective environment, we all benefit
Technical Approach and IT Technoloies:
Cooperation - Collection of Resources - Foraml Catalogs (GCMD, ESG), Web Search (Google, del.icio.us, Flickr), User submissions
Communication - Discussion forum - Reports, Blogs, Discussion pages,
Coordination - White paper in multipel forms
Competition - Standards (??)
Coopetition - Where to cooperate, where to compete

AQ Data System Architectures

..User-Driven: User Drives Design

..Distributed: Structure Extends over Many Dimensions

..Loosely Couppled: Software Components, System of Systems, Architcture of Participation

Information Technologies

..Software Components: Data as Service, Web Services

..Interoperability Technologies: Standards/Conventions, Wrappers and Adopters, Workflow Engines

..Web 2.0 Technologies: Searching, Tagging, RSS, AJAX ...

Challenges

..Human Factors

The 5 C's: Communication, Coordination, Cooperation, Competion, Coopetition
Attracting user participation

..Architecture

Maximize the 'Network Effect'....

..Technologies

Grasping and harnessing Web 2.0

AQ IT Support for End Users, Programs, Agencies and Projects

..End Users: AQ Managment, Science & Policy, Informing Public & Education

..Programs: GEOSS,

..Agencies: National, International

..Projects: ????

Prototype Agile AQ Application Examples

..FASTNET, CATT, Event Analysis

..GSN Demo

So? Next Steps?
