Main issues

- Di I have all AQ data available?- Are my datasets conistent to the metadata?- In which zone is my station located?- Do I have all mandatory information?- Are my aggregation routines valid (Are EEA and MS in

compliance)?

You have to know, what your are measuring? Where?

When? How? Exceedance situation…

- Primary Up-to-date assessment data- Primary pre-validated assessment data (monthly)- Primary validated assessment data (yearly)

Connection between the dataflows


- Information on assessment methods (metadata of stations and measurements)

- Information on zones and agglomerations- Information on zones with time extension - Information on low emission zones

e-reporting

e-reporting

German AQ system:- MS SQL Server database (data, metadata, aggregation

results)

- ArcGIS for zones

- Java programming language- „add-on“ Java XML Beans exchange between Italy

and Germany- Java JAXB (Java Architecture for XML Bindings)

problems with complex element


e-reporting

Steps of XML Beans approach:- Read AQD-schema with Java Apache Ant

- Generates programm classes

- Build own datatyps like myZone, myStation- Select mandatory fields from the database

- „give“ myZone to the xml export routine

- Schema validation is included only valid export, if all

mandatory elements are filled in the right way

- That‘s it!

- B finished- C in preparation- D partly finished- E2a in preparation (similar to E1a)

- F open- G open

- H-K web interface (JRC pilot)


German progress

- Use EEA AQ portal

- Use the codelists

- Use the „User guidance to XML & data model“- Chapters for F, G and E1b (model data) are missing (in

version v19.3b)

- Use EEA QA checks (if available)
