10. Summary of Review and Conclusions Recurring Themes Need for diverse Air Quality data by variety of users Need to connect disciplines, organizations, … Need for user-led Community of Practice, self-organized Opportunities: Embarrassment of the Riches Abundance of information resources Abundance of information technologies Abundance of goodwill for partnership, collaboration GEOSS to the Rescue IT Systems are autonomous but connectable --->> System of Systems Start from existing systems but share reusable components (services) Apply flexible, Service Oriented Architecture for component reuse
