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

Client and User Group Identification

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.

Inventory of Current Air Quality Data Providers

Largely based on current wiki information (pre summit inputs and presentations)

Inventory of Data Enabling or Hub Systems

As above

Mapping system connections and communications (based on 2 and 3)

Spreadsheet (S. Falke’s) matrix and schematic(s) of system inflows and outflows

Tabular condensing of system attributes

Desired Characteristics of Air Quality Data Systems

Data Systems Architecture

Recommended Data Formatting and Interoperability Protocols

Preferred Data Manipulation and Visualization Attributes

Assessment of System Strengths and Weaknesses

Compare systems with attributes defined in (5)

EPA systems assessment

External

Early near term opportunities

EPA AMI IT cyberinfrastructure proposal

HEI second stage

NASA ROSES CSU/UNC VIEWS
