2009 Progress Report to UIC: GEOSS Air Quality Community of Practice (AQ CoP link to cop site ) Rudolf Husar (Point of Contact, Washington University in St. Louis 14 th GEOSS User Interface Committee Meeting London, March 3, 2010

Cop Definition …. Loose …

Guiding Principles of GEO CoP AQ Cop is: –Not project or program –Not funded by GEO –Not centralized Bottom up … self organizing…self supported How does it work? –Use existing projects Keep mandates Expose sharable resources from projects Build collaboration network –Rewards for participation Access to pooled Earth Observations Increase visibility of projects Community services (catalogs, workspaces, collab tools)

The CoP aims to connect and enable air quality data providers and data users to benefit society using the GEO Process and GEOSS Infrastructure 4 Air quality: Many Observations, Many Applications

DataFed Application/Tech Infusion: Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollutants (HTAP) HTAP Data Network

A GEOSS Vision for Connecting Air Quality Projects 6 Observing and Modeling Systems

Project A combines multiple data sources to generate near-real time information for the public Project A provides web service interfaces to some of its data and information Project A 7

Project B analyzes surface and satellite data in support of regulatory analysis and provides web services to their analysis output and analysis tools Project B 8

Project C provides a web services new data from its work Project C 9

New Project A new project uses services from projects A, B and C to meet its objectives 10

AQ CoP Opportunities Tangible outcomes (applicable to all AQ projects) –Standards, metadata and methods for AQ data sharing –AQ data network with community catalog –Demonstration through application examples Meetings, Coordination Organized Session AQ and GEOSS, ISRSE, May, Stresa, Italy Meeting AQ Community Infrastructure, ESIP, July, Santa Barbara, CA AQ Side Meeting at GEO-VI Plenary, November, Washington DC Coordinated GEO Decision Support Concept Proposal Coordinated Participation in the GEOSS AIP-II Monthly Teleconferences Information sharing, communication and coordination through wiki. Support to GEO/GEOSS –Participation in AIP 3 for testing GCI, AQ ComCat –Support to GEO Tasks e.g US-09-01a. –Liason between GEO and AQ Community ??

Interested in participating? Have AQ Info Need? Make your need be known to CoP Have Data or Model Register them in the HTAP Catalog Want to Help Building Network? Participate in the AQ Community of Practice Community Building Share your interests and project contributions (like this meeting) Use ESIP for advancing your project objectives (e.g., ‘built-in’ testers, users…) Help define the GEOSS GCI and/or Community of Practice Enhance the Information Infrastructure Become a ‘node’ on the air quality interoperability network Learn best practices in implementing standards for sharing your project data and tools Participate in (and influence) the GEOSS Architecture Implementation Pilot Use the AQ Community Information Architecture (register your services in GEOSS, find information resources useful for your project) Participate in the development of air quality information networks Collaborate on AQ Science and Research Projects
