This wiki is the collaboration workspace for: Topical Workshop, Aug 23-25, 2011, Stomorska, Island Solta, Croatia

Networking Air Quality Observations and Models: From Virtual to Real

The data for air quality Decision Support Systems and Science Teams are typically delivered through dedicated and closed ("stovepipe") data systems or the observations, emissions or model outputs are manually dowloaded from Data Portals. Several decades of genuine effort by Facilitating Initiatives and the dramatic advances in web technologies yielded only marginal improvement in the seamless data flow from providers to users. Recently, a community-driven pilot network emerged that connects and enables several major air quality data hubs to exchange data through standards-based, interoperable, loosely coupled web services.

At the workshop, practitioners from Europe and North America will assess the current state of the network; share best practices and develop concrete plans to move(?) the emerging voluntary air quality data sharing network from virtual to real.
