* Introductions
 
* Stefan Falke
 
** CEOS Atmospheric Composition Portal
 
*** Still in beta
 
*** Different tools for the display of data and metadata
 
*** Key activity has become interpreting and implementing standards
 
*** Need more documentation of lessons learned from the first implementation of the standards
 
** CIERA
 
*** Community building from an emissions standpoint
 
*** Similar goals to ESIP
 
*** Data scope is divided into species, sources, spatial, and temporal
 
*** Set-up a Drupal site that provides data access tools, analysis tools, and communication about emissions.
 
*** Hope to work on emissions ontology
 
* Rudy Husar
 
** HTAP Data Network
 
*** Standardized air quality data shared over a service-oriented, loosely coupled network
 
*** At least three layers of digital interoperability:
 
**** The data model itself (netCDF)
 
**** Semantic constraints on data types (CF Convention)
 
***** The transmitted file (WCS Standard)
 
*** Discussed WCS and WFS services
 
*** Additional services create ISO or KML files for metadata or Google Earth
 
** GEO AQ CoP
 
*** There are pushing and pulling driving forces for data to flow from provider to user
 
*** Provides a personal level of interoperability
 
*** As part of the GEO AIP, the community catalog of data has been provided through the GEOSS clearinghouse by data facets
 
*** A CoP Drupal website has been created
 
*** GEO can help drive integrating initiatives to get other providers on board
 
* Stefan (con't)
 
** AIP-3 Update
 
*** Focused on OGC sensor observation services and web processing services
 
* Terry Keating
 
** CyAir Briefing
 
*** Not centrally controlled, but with a central plan that multiple groups can take part in implementing
 
*** Looking for feedback from the air quality community and from the EPA management
 
*** Also connects users and providers
 
*** Found that data access is not easy
 
*** Recommendations
 
**** Develop a 'cookbook' on how to become more interoperable
 
**** Hire or designate and air quality community organizer/EPA liaison
 
**** Generate outreach and education information
 
**** Create a cyberinfrastructure of core air quality data systems
 
**** Create CyAir resource website
 
**** Provide cyberinfrastrucure-building tools and resources for data providers and data users
 
**** Develop a relatively simple governance structure and leverage other communities
 
* Yana Gevorgyan
 
** GEO Evaluation
 
*** Monitoring and Evaluation Framework - provides guidelines for the decision/evaluation process
 
*** Established an evaluation team to conduct evaluations which would begin with broad evaluations until the third evaluation, where a regular cycle would be adhered to
 
*** Found that stakeholders are happy with GEO, glad it's there
 
*** But, they haven't shown that they've done anything useful to the outside world (mainly users)
 
**** It doesn't meet their needs for data, information, and tools
 
**** Found that people think GEO co-opts projects that aren't entirely theirs
