Rudy:

Lots of things changed in the last day. The new AIP Contact is John White, AIRNow team, So, please work with John between now and the workshop. I will also be involved and will lend a hand as much as possible.

Hello Phil,

Thanks for the update. Please note that George Percivall will need to know that John White will be attending the Ispra JRC Meeting. Since there is an AIP telecon on Jan. 22, would it be possible to talk about the AIP on Monday? In the mean time, at George's request we will be adding background material to the OGC AIP website pertaining the Air Quality scenario.

I was particularly happy that Gary and Phil were thinking of an air quality-oriented, smoke event scenario. I'm quite certain that there would be a strong multi-agency and international response to the Call for Participation in such an attractive GEOSS Architecture Pilot Scenario.

I can submit the note as a 'position paper' to the session description as suggested by George Percivall. However, I would prefer to compare notes with you and Gary before I submit it.
May I suggest the ESIP wiki as one of the places where the community interaction might take place. A scenario summary can go on the OGC site.
The October 07 California fires would be a terrific scenario..It could incorporate many aspects of GEOSS as well as being a useful contribution to the Exceptional Event Rule implementation

Phil et al.,

Rudy and other ESIP folks are interested in the 'GEOSS Scenario' for the Ispra meeting. This group would like to help out with this... I've cc'd a few people.

Phil,

Can you send me a copy of the AIP pilot template and (if you have one) a draft of what you were working on with Gary to present at the Ispra meeting?

I'd like to have a conversation about the scope of the "scenario" that we put forward and coordinate with Rudy Husar on this. Rudy has put together some material before focusing on wildfires and intercontinental transport.

GEOSS Technical Background for AIP AQ Scenario -- Rhusar 00:20, 22 January 2008 (EST) -- Rhusar 00:20, 22 January 2008 (EST)

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 highlight some of the GEOSS technical activities pertaining to 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. For your information please find further information regarding 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, Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollutants (HTAP), and Exceptional Event Analysis (EE). The content of this note is placed on the ESIP wiki where it can evolve though community contributions. Also, it may serve as a starting point for discussion at the EPA/OAQPS Data Summit regarding GEOSS.

At the GEOSS Architecture Meeting at Ispra JRC, Italy, Johne White of EPA OAQPS will be leading the development of an Air Quality Scenario for GEO Task AR-07-02 GEOSS Architecture Implementation Pilot (AIP). Air quality offers a "near-term opportunity" to demonstrate the characteristics and benefits of the loosely coupled, service-oriented GEOSS architecture.

I was particularly happy that the thinking is of an air quality-oriented, smoke event scenario. The October 07 California fires would be a terrific scenario...It could incorporate many aspects of GEOSS as well as being a useful contribution to the Exceptional Event Rule implementation. I'm quite certain that there would be a strong multi-agency and international response to the Call for Participation in such an attractive GEOSS Architecture Pilot Scenario. This Pilot also has the potential to connect the GEOSS Architecture and Data Committee with the User Interface Committee activities.
