Contents presentation
• Background of AQUI
• AQUI principles
• Inter linkages dataflows B, C, D and G
• Steps in AQUI
• Delivery dates XML files
European Environment Agency
Background of AQUI
• EEA tender EEA/OSE/12/008: Transformation software to support reporting and exchange of air quality data under Decision 2011/850/EU (e-Reporting).
• Some tender requirements:
• Export of XML dataflows B (limited to non-spatial information), C, D (only fixed measurements), E (only measurements), F (only primary validated measurements) and G
• Conform to the AQ e-Reporting data model & schemata and INSPIRE
• A familiar face of the user interface, maintain large part of the country-end in the current reporting for the EoI and AQ Questionnaire
European Environment Agency
Background of AQUI
• Awarded to consortium comprised of:• RIVM
• CACI
• Ricardo-AEA and 4Sfera
• The tool is named: Air Quality User Interface for e-reporting (AQUI)
• AQUI is a tool for e-Reporting data suppliers without knowledge of XML
• Interim tool for 2 years
European Environment Agency
Background of AQUI
B Information on zones and agglomerations & limited to non-spatial information
C Information on the assessment regime
D Information on the assessment methods & limited to fixed measurements
E1a Information on primary validated assessment data – measurements
F1a Information on generated aggregated data – primary validated measurements
G Information on the attainment of environmental objectives
European Environment Agency
AQUI principles
• Basis
• Redesign of AQ-DEM
• Based on:
• AQD schemata vs. 3.7c
• IPR
• INSPIRE
European Environment Agency
AQUI principles
• Functions
• The underlying database is prefilled with historical information from AirBase and from the Questionnaires
• Import/update information needed for data flows B-G
• Checks:
• Qa/Qc checks available for checking the primary observations
• Visualisation imported measurement data
• Overviews of imported primary observations and calculated annual means
• Export Google Earth kml file for checking the station coordinates
• Format and consistency checks
• Export data flows B-G in XML format for e_Reporting
European Environment Agency
AQUI principles
• Features• Consistency assured of links of features between data flows:
• Links in reported data flows are generated automatically• No information can be attached to undefined key links
• Use of prefilled forms:• To facilitate the import of Assessment Regime and attainments• To ensure information of used key links are defined
• Information included in database:• Networks, Stations and measurement configurations from EoI-2012• Zones, Assessment Regime, Sampling points used for compliance
Attainments from AQQ-2012• Codes defined for AQD-schemata (codelists)
European Environment Agency
AQUI principles
• Reporting and exchanging air quality information using e-Reporting (EEA Technical report 5/2012) • IPCC Guiding principles: TCCCA
• Consistency (links of features between data flows)• Accuracy, transparency (checking possibilities)• Comparability (comparison annual means current/previous year)• Completeness (management by change)
• Quality checks as close as possible to the source of the data to keep the feedback cycle as small as possible
• Access to the latest version of the meta information by prefilling the AQUI database.
• Error messages/warnings e.g. on mandatory data
European Environment Agency
1. Configuration fixed Assesment Methods
2. Definition zones
3. Assign Sampling Point for Compliance
4. Classification zones (Assessment regime)
5. Report Attainment situation zones: a. basis for defining attainment situation - observations - modelling results b. result attainment situation zones

European Environment Agency
Steps in AQUI
• Steps to be taken:
• Update and check the meta information B, C, D and G by export/import
• Import primary (E) and aggregated observations (F)
• Check the primary observations (Quality control, visualisation, overviews)
• Export B-G in XML
European Environment Agency
Steps in AQUI
• Defaults, responsible authorities
• Url’s files with zone information
• Responsible authorities
• Data flow B
• Export of zone information in the database, update, and import.
• Sampling Points for Compliance (SPC)
• Export of sampling points of compliance, update and import
• Data flow C
• Export of assessment regime in the database, update, and import.
• Dataflow D (networks, stations and sampling points). 2 possibilities
1. Update meta information by screen
2. Export of assessment regime in the database, update, and import.
European Environment Agency
Steps in AQUI
• Dataflow E
• Import measurement data
• Quality checks, visualisation, export overviews for checking
• Dataflow F (aggregations)
• Calculation aggregated observations from the primary observations by the standard EEA calculation rules outside AQUI
• Import aggregated observations into AQUI• Export, update, import
• Dataflow G (attainments)• Attainments are calculated by the country outside AQUI on base
of the aggregated observations• Export, update, import file into AQUI
European Environment Agency
Steps in AQUI
• Export XML files B-G• Upload to CDR
European Environment Agency
Delivery dates XML files
• Delivery dates:• 31 December 2013: Zones & Assessment regimes 2014• 1 October 2014: Dataflows B-G 2013 data• 31 December 2014: Zones & Assessment regimes 2015• 1 October 2015: Dataflows B-G 2014 data
• After delivery the dataflows are loaded into the EEA e_Reporting databases. This historical information will be used to prefill AQUI for the next AQUI delivery.
