Relationship Between Organizations - Programs – Data Version 0.1 Goals $$ Info needs, $$ Data need, $$ Judge, Decide, Act Analyze, Report Actionable Knowledge Decision, Action Public Measure, Organize Organized Data Flow of Information Data systems organize the measurements and models and provide them to programs. Programs analyze the data and provide actionable knowledge to organizations. Organizations evaluate multiple information sources, make decisions and act. Flow of Control Public and special interest groups set up organizations and provides them with funding Organizations develop programs, define their scope, governance and funding Programs satisfy their information needs by monitoring or by using other’s data Data sources acquire the data for their parent programs and also expose them for reuse

25. AIP Process improvement ideas Comments on AIP Process Process Improvement Functionality defined by developers not users UIC/ADC collab., Workshops; Operational SBA functionality AIP Process is closed Make development iterative; Anyone can join at anytime Process focused on demonstrations More operational persistence; Deliver AR-07-01 Operations Too structured: milestones, deliverables Retain structure within phase; More iterative, open approach Adopted from Percivall , Feb 2008 by R. Husar Contact with UIC; Toronto, Workshop; Open Invitations, ESIP, CoP wiki Expand AQ Data Netw; Seek link to AR-07-01 One phase at a time; Feedback, feedback Air Quality CoP Approach
