A significant challenge of the highly distributed GEOSS is that so many things are happening at so many places with such a variety of participants that it is difficult to keep track of the diverse and distributed activities. The purpose of this note is to make visible one set of GEOSS technical activities pertaining interoperability of air quality data systems using OGC data access standards.

In 2006-7, the IEEE, OGC and other participating organizations in GEO have sponsored a series of workshops entitled "The User and the GEOSS Architecture", each workshop having a region-specific theme, e.g.: Tsunami in Seoul, Korea, Wind Energy in Beijing, China, Air Quality in Denver, Colorado, and Biodiversity in Barcelona, Spain. Our group had the privilege of participating/organizing the interoperability demonstrations for the Denver and Barcelona workshops, both related to air quality. For your information below please find links to presentations at the Denver and Barcelona workshops.

A number of activities for the networking of Air Quality information systems are in progress in the context of different programs such as ESIP, Axceptional Even is still the on

Since July 77 the Barcelona GEOSS workshop, the collaborating technical community has continued:

Adding nodes to the air quality data network
Improving the robustness and the semantic richness of the connections
Contributing to the development of interoperability standards
Applying the existing network to support air quality management and policy (Exceptional Event Analysis; Hemispheric Transport)

In spite of this technical progress, we are still a ways to go before we have a robust... air quality network.
