• GEO AQ CoP Collaborative Website
• GEO AQ CoP at HTAP, 2010-06-15, Brussels
• GEO AQ CoP at UIC Mtg, 2010-02-15, London

AQ GEOSS Community Infrastructure

• File:2010-07 AQInfrastructure(2).ppt | Clickable AQ Infrastructure

• AQ Earth Observation Requirements; User Requirements Registry
  • GEO URR AQ Framework
  • GEO URR Brochure

• WCS/WMS/WFS for Accessing data
  • WMS Documentation
  • WCS Access to netCDF files

• ISO metadata for finding data
  • AQ Metadata fields - identifying which are ISO Core/INSPIRE/CSW Core Queryable
  • ISO 19115/19115 AQ Community Record Documentation

• GEOSS Architecture Implementation Pilot AIP-3
  • AIP-3 AQ Collaboration Workspace

Discussion Focus Areas (20min each)

• Institutional and human factors challenges and opportunities in interoperability

• Interoperability successes among projects and use/planned use of GEOSS AQ Community Infrastructure
  • Lessons learned and guidance that can be formulated for others to use in their implementations
  • Challenges and new approaches to implementing interoperability
  • Define next steps for interoperability testing among projects
  • update interoperability matrix

• Virtual AQ Interoperability Standards Implementation Workshops: making them work for you

• CyAir Reflections: Given discussion above: What does this mean for CyAir?

July 22, Thursday

11:00-12:00 Eastern

• Outline next Interoperability Standards Implementation 'Virtual Workshops'
• Define goals, scope and logistics for face-to-face/virtual AQ Interoperability Standards Implementation Workshop
  • Listing of current connected datasets (with monitoring of service performance)
  • Example of health performance on AQ uFIND - shows status of server (how many layers returned) and status of indiv. layer
• 'Connectivity Matrix'
  • what is the state of the network connection Connectivity Matrix (maybe this should be renamed to the AQ Network Matrix?)
  • Highlight nodes that are red that are high priority and aren't connected (outcome - critical systems need to be networked)
• Plans for GEO-VI Plenary Air Quality 'Showcase'
  • Nov 3-5 in Beijing

Ideas and Suggestions for Summer Meeting

• Entire should be virtual - expect that more than half of participants might be remote.
• Potential collaboration with the Tech workshops from Tuesday
• Describe HTAP Network, ACP, other AQ projects by the way that they leverage AQ Community Infrastructure

1. identifying and begin registering the emerging air quality data-as-services from the various projects e.g. (HTAP network; Atmp Comp Network, CyAir)
2. using the ISO metadata for cataloging, discovery and finding the shared data resources
3. agree on a few practical use cases for demonstrating interoperability and networking

We could also begin work on the

• convention for metadata for understanding the observations (surface, satellite, model, emission...)
• distributing the shared tools and methods (server, client, registration...)

A particular topic that would help GEOSS is a participatory discussion/feedback on the User Requirements Registry for air quality. A possible way to approach this is to ask the project representatives to identify their respective user requirements. I can provide more later..
