Well discover how publishing can enhance the
profile of environmental information.
Basic publishing described by example
Multidimensional Granularity
Optimizing data discovery and retrieval
Future of publishing
3
PNW WQX, completed early 2005, demonstrated the
feasibility of many important EN concepts.
4
The hybrid centralized/decentralized approach
includes data submission and publishing flows
5
Instead of sending the same old oversized query
response, optimize your publishing schema with
Multidimensional Granularity
Data discovery and query costing can be built in
to the data flow.
6
One way to enhance data discovery is to implement
nested queries.
Providing Organization
Project
Monitoring Station
Field Event
Result
Sample Analysis
GetProjects


GetStations
GetMeasurements
7
A Data Catalog can provide summary information
for the sources underlying the flow.
Station lists classified by station type can
allow customers to geographically focus queries.
8
Data Catalog services can tell the customer what
data they might find at a particular location.
9
Data Catalog services can also provide data for
query costing purposes.
10
The future of EN data publishing includes more,
varied data partners and applications.
11
Parties other than EPA and ECOS should be at the
table to increase partners within EN.
As node technology improves, opportunities for
data publishing rather than transmission improve.
12
Data publishing will help us connect EN data with
other types of data and other networks

13
Applications consume our info via web services,
adding value and support.

EPA Region 10s STORET.org consumes Stations List
and links back to PNW application
14
Applications are being developed to consume,
warehouse and analyze specific data.
Beyond charting, QC and statistical analysis
tools could also be developed.
15
In summary, data publishing builds partnerships
with other providers and environmental
information clientele.
