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

Solicit Advice on Data System Evolution and Assessment

Advise EPA and other organizations on Air Quality Data System IT Issues

Process for moving forward

  • Conference calls, wiki, etc.

Typical Applications of Data Systems

Data systems needs to be designed to support both current as well as unknown future applications. Typical current applications are listed below. However, there is an outstanding question: What do we mean by 'End Users' of data systems? Tech-savy analysts who manipulate the data? Domain expert analysts who interpret and analyze the data? Policy/management analysts who interpret data for policy/management decision-makers? Management decision makers themselves?

Models, Forecasting & Reanalysis

Emissions

Status, Trends, Pollutant Characterization

Public Health Applications

Assessments

(Accountability, Policy Support, Monitoring Networks, NAAQS Dev/Implementation)

Current Information Systems

Inventory of Current Air Quality Data Providers

Inventory of Data Enabling or Hub Systems
