1. Schema update for B-G in 2017 Jaume Targa ETC/ACM
EEA-ETC/ACM | 25th of April 2017 | 3rd IPR Technical meeting, Copenhagen
Schema update for B-G
in 2017
Jaume Targa
ETC/ACM

2. Schedule EEA-ETC/ACM reviewed the Schema in 2016
Possible updates presented with reporters in Nov 2016
Finalise any change/update 2016/2017
Test updated schema beginning 2017
“Updated” schema to be used in September 2017

3. Schema options In depth update of the schema
Minor updates to make reporting easier/better
Do nothing

4. Schema update Schema update for “technical maintenance”
Avoid unnecessary updates for countries
with own system already developed
stability of EEA harvesting and QA

5. Schema update Updates on B-G to be discussed next
H-K review to follow in 2017
Schema has NOT been splitted between B-G & H-K

6. Schema version 1.0.8 No modification on gml:FeatureCollection

7. AQD_ReportingHeader (A)
aqd:change
Leave in. Not truly used as the system requires it to be TRUE
Important to review the concept “management by change” both at EEA level and reporting countries…

8. AQD_ReportingHeader (A)
aqd:changeDescription
Keep element
Redefine in Guidance to describe resubmissions
aqd:delete (opposite to aqd:content)
Currently not used for data processing. However, leave element

9. AQD_ReportingHeader (A)
aqd:content
MUST use xlink

10. AQD_Zone (B)
The review carried out does not identify improvements/updates on this data-flow

11. AQD_AssessmentRegime (C)
…/aqd:zone
Element made voidable
To improve reporting for pollutants with monitoring objectives at MS level (e.g. AEI, ozone precursors, deposition, additional PAH)

12. CompetentAuthority (C)
Current version
Unchanged to keep backcompatibility
Drawbacks: the same party information has to be repeated for each task also in case only one competent authority exists for all of these tasks

13. Fixed measurements (D) -
AQD_SamplingPoint/ aqd:assessmentType
Definition of fixed/indicative can vary depending on data coverage.
Currently, it is recommended to use the intended type
Cardinality to be changed to 0

14. Fixed measurements (D) -
AQD_useAQD
Redundant as dataflow C is used to list what is used for Compliance
Cardinality 0

15. Fixed measurements (D) -
AQD_SamplingPoint/ aqd:environmentalObjective
Already optional
Guidance indicates that it is not used & will be marked as deprecated & dropped
If MS view this as necessary used gml:description but this is not essential for EEA harvesting

16. Fixed measurements (D) -
AQD_SamplingPoint/ aqd:changeAEIStations
AQD_SamplingPoint/aqd:assessmentMethodsNS
AQD_SamplingPoint/aqd:assessmentMethodsWSS
Already optional, to be marked as deprecated & dropped

17. Fixed measurements (D) -
AQD_SamplingPoint/aqd:adjustmentMethods
To be marked as deprecated & dropped
Information is in G anyway, this would be a valuable simplification.

18. Fixed measurements (D) -
AQD_SamplingPoint/aqd:zone
To be marked as deprecated & dropped
Information is provided under C
SamplingPoint could belong to different zones

19. Fixed measurements (D) -
…/aqd:measurementType
…/aqd:measurementMethod
…/aqd:samplingMethod
…/aqd:analyticalTechnique
…/aqd:samplingEquipment
…/aqd:measurementEquipment
Needs more discussion when schema gets fully updated

20. Fixed measurements (D) -
…/aqd:dataQuality
Voidable
aqd:documentation & aqd:report
Clarify in Guidance that one or the other may be provided depending on level of detail

21. Fixed measurements (D) – AQD_Sample
The information and usage of AQD_Sample is variable across reports 
Need to harmonise information

22. Fixed measurements (D) – AQD_Sample
sam:sampledFeature should link to
AQD_Representative area or
new codelist briefly describing the AREA
sams:shape provides LAT/LONG

23. Fixed measurements (D) – AQD_RepresentativeArea
sam:sampledFeature should link to
new codelist briefly describing the AREA
sams:shape provide detailed GEOMETRY of area

24. AQD_Model (D) - AQD_Model/ef:purpose or ef:involvedIn
Codelist under revision
keep sam:sampledFeature & sams:shape

25. AQD_Model (D) - AQD_Model/aqd:environmentalObjective
was mandatory (1 to *)
Cardinality to be changed (0 to *)

26. AQD_Attainment (G) - NEW
AQD_Attainment/Aqd:percentileExceedance
Currently it is not possible to declare exceedence due to 90.4%ile
Add new conditional element in addition to NumericExceedance and NumberExceedances
Following feedback from Spain

27. AQD_Attainment (G) - NO UPDATE
…/aqd:stationUsed
Better name aqd:samplingPointInExceedance
…/aqd:modelUsed
Better name aqd:modelInExceedance

28. AQD_Attainment (G) - DELETED
…/aqd:sensitivePopulation
…/aqd:infrasturctureServices
Not in IPR Decision
To be marked as deprecated & dropped
