These include: a community catalog, community portal and metadata workspaces. These components are being developed to support the general air quality community, broad interagency participation, persistency and applicability to multiple air quality-related applications. The ESIP AQ Workgroup contributes toward the three aspects of AIP-3 : 1. Supporting the development of the GEO Air Quality Community of Practice 2. Establishing a set of persistent “operational, research and technical exemplars” services that support the GEOSS societal benefit areas (AIP CFP) 3. Modifying the GCI architecture by providing community interfaces for adding and accessing data. It is hoped that the feedback from Phase II of AIP will help in improving these components for AIP-3. Many of the Workgroup’s participants will be contributing to the GEOSS AIP through their respective individual organizati
