  1. Presentation of the Air Quality e-reporting User Interface (AQUI 1.0) Wim Mol Presentation AQUI 1.0 Dublin, Ireland 24-25 October 2013 European Environment Agency

  2. Contents presentation AQUI • Background of AQUI • Redesign AQ-DEM • AQUI principles • Inter linkages dataflows B, C, D and G • Inter linkages dataflows D, E and F • Steps in AQUI • Delivery dates XML files

  3. Background of AQUI • EEA tender EEA/OSE/12/008: Transformation software to support reporting and exchange of air quality data under Decision 2011/850/EU (e-Reporting). • Some tender requirements: • Export of XML dataflows B (limited to non-spatial information), C, D (only fixed measurements), E (only measurements), F (only primary validated measurements) and G • Conform to the AQ e-Reporting data model & schemata and INSPIRE • A familiar face of the user interface, maintain large part of the country-end in the current reporting for the EoI and AQ Questionnaire

  4. Background of AQUI • Awarded to consortium comprised of: • RIVM • CACI • Ricardo-AEA and 4Sfera • The tool is named: Air Quality User Interface for e-reporting (AQUI) • AQUI is a tool for e-Reporting data suppliers without knowledge of XML • Interim tool for 2 years

  5. Background of AQUI • B Information on zones and agglomerations & limited to non-spatial information • C Information on the assessment regime • D Information on the assessment methods & limited to fixed measurements • E1a Information on primary validated assessment data – measurements • F1a Information on generated aggregated data – primary validated measurements • G Information on the attainment of environmental objectives

  10. AQUI principles Based on: AQD schemata vs. 3.7c, Implementing Provisions, Inspire Functions The underlying database is prefilled with historical meta information from AirBase and from the Questionnaires Import/update information needed for data flows B-G Checks: Qa/Qc checks available for checking the primary observations Visualisation imported measurement data Overviews of imported primary observations and calculated annual means Export Google Earth kml file for checking the station coordinates Format and consistency checks Export data flows B-G in XML format for e_Reporting

  11. AQUI principles Features Consistency assured of links of features between data flows: Links in reported data flows are generated automatically No information can be attached to undefined key links Use of prefilled forms: To facilitate the import of Assessment Regime and attainments To ensure information of used key links are defined Information included in database: Networks, Stations and measurement configurations from EoI-2012 Zones, Assessment Regime, Sampling points used for compliance from AQQ-2012 Codes defined for AQD-schemata (codelists)

  12. AQUI principles Reporting and exchanging air quality information using e-Reporting (EEA Technical report 5/2012) IPCC Guiding principles: TCCCA Consistency (links of features between data flows) Accuracy, transparency (checking possibilities) Comparability (comparison annual means current/previous year) Completeness (management by change) Quality checks as close as possible to the source of the data to keep the feedback cycle as small as possible Access to the latest version of the meta information by prefilling the AQUI database. Error messages/warnings e.g. on mandatory data

  13. Inter linkages dataflows B, C, D and G All sampling points defined? 1. Configuration fixed Assesment Methods Sampling Points missing? All zones defined for env. Pollutants? 2. Definition zones Zones missing? 3. Assign Sampling Point for Compliance All sampling points used for compliance defined? 4. Classification zones (Assessment regime) All zones for all env. Pollutants classified? Aggregated observations 5. Report Attainment situation zones: a. basis for defining attainment situation - observations - modelling results b. result attainment situation zones

  14. Inter linkages dataflows D, E and F 1. Configuration fixed Assesment Methods All sampling points defined? Sampling Points missing? Sampling Points missing? 2. Primary observations All primary observations defined to aggregate? Primary observations missing? 3. Aggregated observations Attainments

  15. Steps in AQUI • Steps to be taken: • Update and check the meta information B (zones), C (assessment regimes) and D (fixed assessment methods) by export/import • Import primary (E), aggregated observations (F) and attainments (G) • Check the primary observations (Quality control, visualisation, overviews) • Export B-G in XML

  16. Steps in AQUI • Defaults, responsible authorities • Url’s files with zone information • Responsible authorities • Dataflow D (networks, stations and sampling points). 2 possibilities • Update meta information by screen • Export of networks/stations/sampling points in the database, update, and import. • Data flow B • Export of zone information in the database, update, and import. • Sampling Points for Compliance (SPC) • Export of sampling points of compliance, update and import • Data flow C • Export of assessment regime in the database, update, and import.

  17. Steps in AQUI Dataflow E Import measurement data Quality checks, visualisation, export overviews for checking Dataflow F (aggregations) Calculation aggregated observations from the primary observations by the standard EEA calculation rules outside AQUI Import aggregated observations into AQUI Export, update, import Dataflow G (attainments) Attainments are calculated by the country outside AQUI on base of the aggregated observations Export, update, import file into AQUI

  18. Steps in AQUI Export XML files B-G Upload to CDR

  19. Delivery dates XML files • Delivery dates: • 31 December 2013: Data flows B, C, (D) 2014 • 1 October 2014: Dataflows B-G 2013 data • 31 December 2014: Data flows B, C, (D) 2015 • 1 October 2015: Dataflows B-G 2014 data • After delivery the dataflows are loaded into the EEA e_Reporting databases. This historical information will be used to prefill AQUI for the next AQUI delivery.
