VIEWS 2.0: IMPROVE Data Advisories IMPROVE Data Advisories document interesting findings from the IMPROVE database such as data anomalies, potential problems, and new uses for the IMPROVE data. These advisories are stored as metadata in the VIEWS database and dynamically associated with data and products. When a user selects data, the systems checks for any advisories relevant to the data selected and attaches them to the output.
