NJ Projects Leveraging the AQDE Schema

• AQDE Challenge Grant - DE, NJ, NY– State to AQS – State to Air Now– State to State

• HLS Challenge Grant - MI, ME, NH, NJ– State DEP to LPS (first responders)

• CDC Network Grant– State DEP to DOH (research scientists)

3

Common Themes between Projects

• Publish Data through ENDS– Machine to Machine data exchange– Person to Machine data exchange

• Build Once and Re-use– Same data services used for all consumers

• Single National Schema– Designed to Share data

• GIS Tools

How can we satisfy all Data Consumers?

• AQDE schema developed with focus on “air quality” not AQS• Use same Solicit and Query services to answer Data Consumer’s

questions and populate Federal Systems• Identify all parameters needed to answer Data Consumer’s questions

as well as extract data for regulatory submissions– Example: FileGenerationPurposeCode

» AQS» AIRNOW» OTHER

State to AQS Implementation

• Project Deliverables– Multi-Purpose Schema (AQDE)– Populate AQS using Exchange Network

• Deliverable Status– NTG schema conformance review complete– AQS submission tested

• Next Steps– Test data service with current data and updated schema– Move data service to production

• Implementation Notes– Data service will be published in ENDS– Air Monitoring staff will use the “EN Browser” to send data to AQS

State to Air Now Implementation

• Project Deliverables– Pilot: Exchange air monitoring data using EN and AQDE schema– Production: Exchange production air monitoring data using EN and

AQDE schema every hour• Deliverable Status

– Pilot complete• Next Steps

– Test Data Service with current data and updated schema (May)– Move Data Service to Production (June)

• Implementation Notes– Data service will be published in ENDS– NJ will schedule a solicit every hour to send data to Air Now Node– NJ will send additional parameters other than Ozone and PM2.5– Air Now exchange will handle UPDATED data!

State to State Implementation

• Project Deliverables– Exchange air monitoring data using EN and AQDE schema– GIS tool to view current data

• Deliverable Status– Pilot complete– Use proven Air Now Tech GIS tool

• Next Steps– Test data service with current data and updated schema– Move data service to production

• Implementation Notes– Data service will be published in ENDS– “EN Browser” will be used for person to machine data exchanges

State DEP to LPS Implementation

• Project Deliverables– Exchange Air Monitoring, Drinking Water, Env. Incidents, and RTK

Chemical Inventory data with LPS• Deliverable Status (Air)

– Developed and tested an automated process to send Air Monitoring Site/Monitor/Raw data to LPS EPINet system

• Next Steps– Test data service with current data and updated schema– Move data service to Production

13

State DEP to LPS Implementation continued...

• Implementation Notes– LPS deployed an EN compliant Submit Web Service– DEP will schedule a solicit every 3 minutes and deliver the previous

minutes worth of “Raw” data from 28 air monitors– LPS will ingest the data from the XML payload into an ORACLE db– The most recent data submission will be available for viewing

spatially on their EPINet Map Viewer– Data will be integrated with Traffic Cameras, Census Data,

Weather Data, Critical & Transportation Infrastructure Data, Schools, and Hospital Data

– Green, Yellow, Red color coding of Monitor Locations based on Air Quality expertise and reason

– Pollutants: CO, NO2, O3, SO2, PM2.5, Smoke Shade, (NO, NOx)

State DEP to DOH Implementation

• Project Deliverables– Exchange Air Monitoring and Drinking Water data with DOH

• Deliverable Status– Evaluating if AQDE and eDWR are a good fit

• Implementation Notes– We would like to use “EN Browser” and existing data services for

person to machine data exchanges
