GEO AQ CoP and its User Community • The GEO AQ CoP is just one of the many coordinating initiatives for air quality. • These initiatives have different mandates and serve different AQ user communities. • GEO AQ CoP is a self- organized group to foster application of EOs to Air Quality in the framework and applying principles of GEOSS. AQ Coordinating Initiatives • In particular, the AQ CoP supports the development of a System of Systems for Air Quality that includes an infrastructure for sharing data, metadata and knowledge. • Rather than being a competitor, the AQ CoP connects and supports the networking activities of other coordination communities in AQ and atmospheric composition. • Initial members of the AQ CoP were ‘collaboration evangelist’; more recent membership includes participants from other coordinating initiatives. • These newer members constitute the current AQ CoP User Community, who in turn interact and serve their own respective user constituents.
