1. IMAT – Future Work & associated functionality
Potential Post-October 2006 development:
Provision of CatMan and MetaMan tools as appropriate. Metaman provides metadata editing and validation capabilities.
Design and Implement Registry (Catalog) for contextual geospatial data and other key WRAP layers available through web services.
Identify key external web services of interest (WMS, WFS, WCS) and populate the web service Registry with service info and capabilities.
Data download capability – site with “ftp from HTTP” transfer capability
Metadata upload tools
Data upload tool – allow States and Tribes to upload data to TSS
Development of protocols for data and metadata upload
Cycle

2. IMAT – Future Work: Data Access
Add/enhance capability for integration (linking to external sources, enabling user input) and access to monitoring, modeling, emissions data in db and GIS layer formats.
Utilize Registry for menued selection to add key web services
Develop protocols and tools for data upload and integration.
Provide data through standard open interfaces (WMS, WFS, WCS) and in formats that facilitate uptake in GIS systems for maximum flexibility in display and/or further analysis.
Data download capability – develop tools and web pages that utilize the AOI functionality and the indexed data. Steps:
user identifies AOI
user selects data set for download, and selects output format
indexed data in TSS/CIRA RDBMS churns out selection
Potential output formats: shapefiles, SDTS, GML, ASCII, etc.
Identify key web services of interest (WMS, WFS, WCS) and populate the web service Registry with service info and capabilities

5. Future Work: Integrating additional external geospatial information and services
maintain and update access to web services for contextual data
solicit input on other useful external air quality and contextual data, e.g.:
WMS
MODIS products (NASA TERRA and Aqua platforms)
LANDSAT Global Mosaic (NASA - JPL)
Shaded relief (UGSS)
GEOMAC Fire Locations –– 2002-present fire locations
WFS
Bureau of Census WebTIGER boundary features
WCS
other gridded data
gazetteer, elevation look-up, coordinate look-up (any EPSG projection)

6. Future Work: Refining and Augmenting Metadata to maximize ROI and add functionality to TSS
proceed with proposed template and protocols – see how it works – shortcomings will become apparent
add metadata elements as required, e.g., “Processing_Step”
standardize Attribute codes
publish to the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)
utilize metadata catalog to access and display certain metadata elements (e.g., Abstract, Attribute_Definition) from XML records in customized manner to inform tool use …?
