DRAFT
Phase II. Encode and Enter the AQ Requirements into
the GEO User Requirement Registry (SCG)
The procedures and the outcome of AQM are defined by laws and regulations in most countries including the workflow/activities, the key participants and their respective needs.
AQ Management (AQM) and Science relies on a range of Earth Observations (EO) from in-situ and remote sensing platforms.
Hence, AQM is a suitable application area of the Global Observing System of Systems (GEOSS) where the user needs are satisfied by services offered .
This is an initial attempt to formulate User Requirements for AQM. The AQ Community of Practice is encouraged to continue its active participation in this effort.
This provides a base case for the gap analysis. Next one defines the desired stateThe gap is the difference between the current and desired state.
Background
Forum to Develop AQ Requirements: GEO AQ Community of Practice
Methodology for Gathering User Requirements:
1. State the SB Sub-Area: e.g. Manage Air Quality 2. Define Major Workflow Steps of the SBA3. Name the Value-Adding Activities4. Identify Participants for Each Activity (i.e. the ‘Users’)5. Determine the Participant’s EO Needs

UIC Objectives
• Enable GEO to address in a systematic, targeted, focused and comprehensive way the needs and concerns of a broad range of user communities in developing and developed countries, across issues and trans-disciplinary needs, with a particular focus on fostering new or less organized communities.
• Enable GEO, in the implementation of GEOSS, to engage a continuum of users, from producers to the final beneficiaries of the data and information
• Facilitate linkages and partnerships between established CPs and new user groups or organizations interested in collaborating.

How to Approach Users in the Lower Half of the Spectrum
• What do they do in their occupation and what does their organization do? Is there a web-site?
• How would they describe their more important activities? What are those of their organization?
• What decision-making are they involved in, either directly or indirectly by providing research or decision support tool development?
• What impact/benefits result or might potentially result from this decision-making, including the expected timeframe of the impact/benefits? Does the organization measure the impacts/benefits?
How to Approach Users in the Lower Half of the Spectrum
• Does your organization operate a system or systems that collect observational data, either in-situ or remotely sensed? Describe these systems. Are they part of a larger system?
• What observational data, geographical data, socio-economic data and/or models/forecasts, if any, are used in the decision-making or the indirect support to the decision-making
• What are the needs for additional information that could improve the decision-making or the indirect support to the decision-making?
• What regional or international working groups are you a member of or on the mailing list of?
A user-led community of stakeholders, from providers to the final beneficiaries of Earth observation data and information, with a common interest in specific aspects of societal benefits to be realized by GEOSS implementation.
The Communities of Practice will be self organized and will include stakeholders required to achieve benefits.
