IMAT – Future Work & associated functionality Potential Post-October 2006 development: • Provision of CatMan and MetaMan tools as appropriate. Metaman provides metadata editing and validation capabilities. • Design and Implement Registry (Catalog) for contextual geospatial data and other key WRAP layers available through web services. • Identify key external web services of interest (WMS, WFS, WCS) and populate the web service Registry with service info and capabilities. • Data download capability – site with “ftp from HTTP” transfer capability • Metadata upload tools • Data upload tool – allow States and Tribes to upload data to TSS • Development of protocols for data and metadata upload ------------------- Cycle 6 --------------------
IMAT – Future Work: Data Access Add/enhance capability for integration (linking to external sources, enabling user input) and access to monitoring, modeling, emissions data in db and GIS layer formats. • Utilize Registry for menued selection to add key web services • Develop protocols and tools for data upload and integration. • Provide data through standard open interfaces (WMS, WFS, WCS) and in formats that facilitate uptake in GIS systems for maximum flexibility in display and/or further analysis. • Data download capability – develop tools and web pages that utilize the AOI functionality and the indexed data. Steps: • user identifies AOI • user selects data set for download, and selects output format • indexed data in TSS/CIRA RDBMS churns out selection • Potential output formats: shapefiles, SDTS, GML, ASCII, etc.

Future Work: Integrating additional external geospatial information and services • maintain and update access to web services for contextual data • solicit input on other useful external air quality and contextual data, e.g.: WMS • MODIS products (NASA TERRA and Aqua platforms) • LANDSAT Global Mosaic (NASA - JPL) • Shaded relief (UGSS) • GEOMAC Fire Locations –– 2002-present fire locations • WFS • Bureau of Census WebTIGER boundary features • WCS • other gridded data • gazetteer, elevation look-up, coordinate look-up (any EPSG projection)
Future Work: Refining and Augmenting Metadata to maximize ROI and add functionality to TSS • proceed with proposed template and protocols – see how it works – shortcomings will become apparent • add metadata elements as required, e.g., “Processing_Step” • standardize Attribute codes • publish to the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) • utilize metadata catalog to access and display certain metadata elements (e.g., Abstract, Attribute_Definition) from XML records in customized manner to inform tool use • …?
