Online resources

In order to facilitate the implementation of the Decision 2011850EU the European Environment Agency (EEA) has set up the Air

Quality Portal to support the transition to e-Reporting The AQ portal managed by ETCACM is the central HUB for reporting air

quality data across Europe via e-Reporting The AQ portal includes online resources for

INSPIRE data specification and draft guidelines for AQ e-Reporting

A list of latest INSPIRE data specifications upon which the Air Quality Data Model has been based is also available at the portal

Links to this information on the INSPIRE web site have been provide on the Portal and below An air quality specific interpretation

of these INSPIRE requirements including how they are implemented in the e-Reporting data model is summarised in this document

to facilitate adoption of INSPIRE elements within the Air Quality Community

Controlled code lists amp vocabularies for AQ e-Reporting

The contents of many elements within the AQ e-Reporting data model are controlled via code lists amp vocabulary managed by the

EEA The code lists are managed outside the schemata itself Latest information and updates are available at

httpwwweioneteuropaeuaqportalcodelists The full list of EEA vocabularies are available at

httpddeioneteuropaeuvocabularies

The following vocabularies are of relevance to AQ e-Reporting

aq (Air Quality Directive e-Reporting)

common (Shared vocabularies)

uom (Units of Measurement)

The syntax to link to any air quality code is as follows httpddeioneteuropaeuvocabularyaqltCodeListIdgtltValueIdgt

In order to declare to the pollutant being observed as Ozone (O3) the code is constructed as follows

httpddeioneteuropaeuvocabularyaqpollutant7 - url link

In order to declare to the AQ zone as an Agglomeration the code is constructed as follows

httpddeioneteuropaeuvocabularyaqzonetypeagg - url link

EEArsquos central vocabulary repository is also used for other environmental domains including water quality biodiversity noise etc

There are some common codes that use the syntax

In order to declare the concentration unit of any measurement like gm3 the code is constructed as follows

httpddeioneteuropaeuvocabularyuomconcentrationugm-3 - url link

To declare the time unit the code would be like httpddeioneteuropaeuvocabularyuomtimehour - url link

In addition to the AQ e-Reporting specific code lists some elements require entries from the INSPIRE codelists located at

httpinspireeceuropaeucodelist The syntax to be followed is the same as shown above appending the CodeListId and ValueId

to the base codelist path as follows httpinspireeceuropaeucodelistltCodeListIdgtltValueIdgt

XML schema documents for AQ e-Reporting

The latest AQ e-Reporting schema is maintained at httpddeioneteuropaeuschemasetid2011850eu-10 This link can be

accessed via the air quality portal The folder contains the latest schema and accompanying information such as an Excel based

mapping document which links AQD IPR data elements to the schema data elements using XPath notation The AQ e-Reporting

schema is version controlled to accommodate changes in the data model which will be kept to a minimum but may occur from time

to time2 An internal schema version attribute tag is used to indicate the version of the schema eg version=107 When a

schema version is superseded this will be deprecated

The latest stable XSD will always be found at httpddeioneteuropaeuschemasid2011850eu-10AirQualityReportingxsd

Central repository for AQ e-Reporting data deliveries

The Central Data Repository (CDR) is part of EEArsquos ReportNet architecture The data reports within each country collection are

arranged under the relevant reporting obligations

For AQ e-Reporting Figure 1Figure 1 shows an example of CDR folder for annual reporting of air quality information (excluding

primary up-to-date (E2a) information) Links to all official country reports can be found at

Common AQ e-Reporting data types information elements amp XML structures

Within the AQ e-Reporting data model data flows a number of data types or blocks of data regularly reappear A description of

these common data types is provided in the following section to avoid repetition later in this guide Where they are reused in the

data flows themselves citations to the sections below are provided for detailed information as needed contextual data flow

specific information may also be provided

Before identifying and describing those common elements and types within the XMLs the common XML structure for e-Reporting is

described

Common XML structures used in AQ e-Reporting

All valid XML instance documents (deliveries) must certain elements and structures to comply with validation rules defined both by

the basic W3C XML definitions the GML encoding rules as well as by the AQ e-Reporting schema These generalised XML rules

are described below

XML declarations

The AQ e-Reporting XML instance documents must declare both the version of XML being used in the XML document and the

character encoding standard being used in the first line of the XML document In all cases these will be set as follows

ltxml version=10 encoding=UTF-8gt

Example XML declaration

B ndash Zones

21

Feature collection ltgmlFeatureCollectiongt

The GML FeatureCollection element is the root element for all AQ e-Reporting XML instance documents All spatial and non-spatial

AQ data objects (features) with identity (discrete groups of AQ information eg stations models assessment regimes etc) are child

elements of the FeatureCollection element These data objects are easy to identify within the AQD e-Reporting schema as their

names all begin with ldquoAQDrdquo The XML namespace (xmlns) attributes of this element specify the namespaces and schemas used

(imported) by the AQ e-Reporting schema These imported schemas are INSPIRE OGC W3C and ISO standards which have

been extended to support AQ e-Reporting needs within the AQD e-Reporting schema

Feature collection identification ltgmlidgt

The gmlFeatureCollection root element contains a gml identifier (gmlid) This identifier is constrained to be unique within the XML

data flow delivery document in which it occurs In addition there are strict syntax rules3 for the creation of a gmlid for more

detailed information please see section 2 Error Reference source not found

Referencing gmlid (ONLY for observations)

As the OM_Obervation type used for the provision of measurement data has been adopted directly from the ISO specification it

lacks an INSPIRE Identifier In such cases the gmlid of the OM_Observation object should be used instead of the localId of the

INSPIRE Identifier for the creation of xlink URLs The namespace used for the provision of the other parts of the AQ e-Reporting

should also be used in this case the syntax of the URL should be the same as when referencing data objects with an INSPIRE

Identifier This is the only exception where gmlid are used to reference objects

For AQ e-Reporting the gmlid may be used to identify (describe) the high level content of the XML document You may routinely

also provide this kind of information in the filename of the XML document

XML namespace (xmlns) attribute declarations

From an AQ perspective you do not need to be concerned with either the required XML namespaces declarations or their meaning

What is important is that the correct namespaces are declared for each data flow in a standardised manner the declarations

Example gmlid with gmlFeatureCollection

B ndash Zones

25

presented above must always be provided as attributes of the FeatureCollection element within each data flow If in doubt copy and

paste the full text above modifying the gmlid attribute appropriately this will ensure that all necessary namespaces are declared

For context XML namespaces and namespace prefixes are used for uniquely identifying the source of named types as well as their

elements and attributes in an XML document Each xmlns attribute within the FeatureCollection consists of a string containing both

the namespace prefix to be used as well as the unique namespace of the schema being referenced For example the namespace

prefix ldquoaqdrdquo is defined as belonging to the schema with the namespace httpddeioneteuropaeuschemasetid2011850eu-10 the

following entry will be required in the namespace declaration of the FeatureCollection

xmlnsaqd=rdquo httpddeioneteuropaeuschemasetid2011850eu-10rdquo

Once this has been declared it is clear that all elements prefixed with aqd are to be interpreted as stemming from the schema with

the namespace httpddeioneteuropaeuschemasetid2011850eu-10

An example of a naming conflict which can be avoided using a namespace prefix relates to aqdpollutant in the AQ e-Reporting

schema The aqd prefix indicates that this pollutant element belongs to the aqd namespace ie AQ e-Reporting and should be

interpreted as such The prefix also infers that the element may (will) have a different definition (and meaning) to a pollutant

element that specified by the Water Framework Directive (for example) The prefix is given meaning by being assigned to the

correct namespace in the FeatureCollection namespace declaration eg

xmlnsaqd=rdquohttpddeioneteuropaeuschemasetid2011850eu-10

Other data elements are taken from the INSPIRE data specifications as well as from the underlying ISO standards These data

specifications each have their own unique namespaces to differentiate their elements from those defined within other namespaces

Examples of these base namespaces are

Identifiers and referencing

In complex data models it is necessary to link together different pieces of information to provide a complete picture Some

examples of this are

Linking SamplingPoints to Stations

Linking SamplingPoints to Zones

Linking Observations to SamplingPoints

In order to provide an unambiguous link to an object the object must be identifiable A unique object identifier must be assigned to

this object that fullfills the following requirements

Uniqueness (ie the identifier is only used once for one explicit data object it will not be re-used in the future for a different

object)

Persistence (ie the identifier is always used for one explicit data object the same object will not be provided using a

different identifier)

Traceability (ie the identifier has to provide sufficient information about the source of the spatial object) and feasibility (ie

well aligned with any pre-existing national identifier systems to enable mapping)

Feasibility (ie well aligned with any pre-existing national identifier systems to enable mapping)

Based on these unique object identifiers it is then possible for one data object to provide a reference to a related data object ie a

SamplingPoint can include explicit information on its ZoneThe following sections detail the identifiers used within AQ e-Reporting

as well as the mechanism defined for referencing between data objects

The INSPIRE identifier

Within AQ e-Reporting the INSPIRE concept for a common framework for the unique identification of spatial objects is used not

only for those objects that have been extended from the INSPIRE specifications such as the AQD_Station it has also been applied

to non-spatial data objects with identity eg an assessment regime

B ndash Zones

30

The INSPIRE unique identifiers used for spatial and non-spatial data objects in the AQ e-Reporting data model consist of three

parts

1 A namespace to identify the data source The namespace is owned by the data provider and registered in the INSPIRE

External Object Identifier Namespaces Register

2 A local identifier assigned by the data provider The local identifier is unique within the namespace ie no other spatial

object carries the same unique identifier

3 An optional version identifier to be used in cases where an updated version of an existing data object is being provided is

also available

B ndash Zones

31

Identifiers have a key role in joining up the components of the AQ e-Reporting data model and need to allow for easy processing of

identifiers in software applications of the e-Reporting data management systems therefore some constraints are placed on the

syntax of identifiers Identifiers are not constrained in length but in the characters they can use they must start with a letter (capital

or small) or an underscore (ldquo_rdquo) while the further characters must be either letters (capital or small) numbers or one of the following

characters underscore (ldquo_rdquo) dash (-)full stop ()

A version identifier may also be included where data model contains life-cycle information for a spatial or non-spatial data object

The version identifier allows for diffentiation between the different versions of the same spatial or data object Within a set of all

versions of an object the version identifier is unique The version identifier is not used when referencing an INSPIRE object

The parent child relationship of XML elements that make up the INSPIRE identifier is shown in Figure 3Figure 3

Figure 3 ndash INSPIRE identifier elements

Within the different data flows the inspireId will be found within elements associated with the following namespaces

ltaqdinspireIdgt for objects specific to the Air Quality Directives

ltefinspireIdgt for objects based on INSPIRE Environmental Monitoring Facilities

ltaminspireIdgt for objects based on INSPIRE Area managementrestrictionregulation zones and reporting units

For Observations amp Measurements and Sensor Web Enablement the inspireId is not used Instead the gmlid is used as the

unique identifier

INSPIRE namespace

The INSPIRE namespace is key to identify the source of a dataset or spatial object In the simplest sense it is a collection of

names assembled within a uniform resource identifier (URI) reference to ensure uniqueness across spatial datasets down to

authority level The namespace value will be owned by the data provider of the spatial object and will be registered in the INSPIRE

External Object Identifier Namespaces Register This latter requirement will necessitate a liaison between AQ e-Reporters and their

local INSPIRE representatives For the implementation of AQ e-Reporting two options are provided below We recommend that air

quality practisioners engage with national INSPIRE representatives in order to understand and align AQ systems with any pre-

existing National implementation of INSPIRE namespaces

Identify national INSPIRE representatives

The following INSPIRE pages provide lists with contact information

httpinspirejrceceuropaeuindexcfmpageid481 or httpinspirejrceceuropaeuindexcfmpageid5041

Determine national URI scheme for the definition of INSPIRE namespaces as well as specific URI assigned

to the data provider for AQD data

Option 1 ndash URI implementation at National level

When implementing a URI approach to namespace definition the national INSPIRE authority within the member state needs to provide guidance on the agreed approach for creating and managing the INSPIRE namespaces within the MS Some national approaches to defining the INSPIRE URI are shown below as an example

inspireNamespace = prefix[type][theme][concept] prefix = httpdomaincollection

Where [theme may be a 2-digit code for the relevant INSPIRE theme concept may be the sector specific concept name for the type of entities associated with a given reference designator eg road school river Example from the United Kingdom httpenvironmentdatagovukair-qualityso Example from Germany httpgdiubadearcgisrestservicesinspireDEUBAAQD

INSPIRE versionId

The version identifier is optional within the InspireId If applied the version identifier is used to distinguish between different

versions of a spatial object Within the set of all versions of a spatial object the version identifier is unique For air quality reporting

the versionId should be used identify the lifecycle of deliveries of spatial objects

When the providing data system uses versioning this value can be incremented each time the data object changes Thus the initial

version (which need not be provided) would be ldquo1rdquo the next version ldquo2rdquo and so on However in cases where the the providing data

system does not provide explicit versioning a simple solution is to provide a timestamp in the version field (ISO 8601 encoded as

all timestamps within the AQD e-Reporting) Thus a unique version is provided each time the data object is provided Whilst this

The GML identifier attribute

The attribute gmlid supports provision of a handle for the XML element (data object with identity) in the AQ e-Reporting data

model allowing for unique identification of this data object It is mandatory for each XML feature type (spatial and non-spatial AQ

data objects with identity) and appears as an attribute of the XML element providing this feature type

ltomOM_Observation gmlid=OBSAT304071786a3d08-0396-46bc-bbde-81a798ecf969gt

The gmlid is constrained to be unique within the XML data flow delivery document in which it occurs However the gmlid will not

used for referencing purposes within the AQ e-Reporting except for referencing to OM_Observations as this function is covered by

the INSPIRE Id as described above For simplicity and clarity it is recommended to use the same entry for the gmlid as is

used for the local id in the INSPIRE identifier However there are elements which require gmlid that do not have a

corresponding INSPIRE Id For these elements gmlids must be created the constraints applicable to gmlid attribute are

summarised below

The following syntax is recommended for the creation of gmlids The first part of the id should be the recommended prefix specified

for the creation of the localId of the INSPIRE Id as described in section ldquoINSPIRE localIdrdquo the second part the gmlid should be the

acronym for the datatype requiring the gmlid as listed in the table below In order to assure uniqueness a third unique part must be

added to the identifier this part can either be a simple sequence of numbers (as long as each number is only used once) or a

GUID can be generated and used for this purpose (most programming languages support the automatic creation of unique GUIDs)

As a further option further parts of the localId of the main feature type can be added to provide more information on the context

For OM_Observation feature types the prefix OBS should be used The rest of the gmlid for observations should be composed in

the same manner as the localId part of the INSPIRE Id explained above

Referencing between data objects with xlink

Based on the requirements of AQ e-Reporting the data model is composed of many individual data objects (featureTypes) that

must reference each other Examples of this are the links between a station and its sampling points or the sampling points linked to

an assessment regime INSPIRE and AQ e-Reporting provide an URL based approach for referencing between all spatial and non-

spatial data objects using the xlinkhref attribute the value of the xlinkhref attribute provides a unique reference to the object to be

linked to All xlinks to data objects will be constructed by concatenating the unique namespace amp the localId of the spatial object

Using xlink it is possible to provide complex information in more simple pieces The data objects need not be nested within each

other but can be provided individually with an xlink entry showing how the pieces link together This is especially useful in the more

complex data flows such as data flow D In this case the individual components eg network information station information

sampling point information etc can be provided individually as FeatureMembers within a FeatureCollection Then in the highest

level data object instead of including the entire nested data object only an xlink uniquely identifying this nested data object is

provided Thus an AQD_SamplingPoint need not include all information on itrsquos corresponding station within the efbroader element

but instead can provide an xlink referencing to this data object It is also possible to reference the same data object from different

objects making it possible to provide the relevant information only once and then reference it wherever required

Example gmlid as identifier for data type

42

Referencing using inspireId

For referencing to data objects that contain an inspireId the namespace and localId elements should be concatenated together to

provide a unique reference to the data object being referenced In the case that the MS INSPIRE coordinator has provided a

different syntax this syntax should be followed

(like aqdAQD_Zone aqdAQD_Station aqdAQD_SamplingPoint) are to be reported within individual gmlfeatureMember in the

same XML

The AQ reporting header XML block has to be encoded in the same XML file and uses references to the component XML

encodings of the dataflow using the xlinkhref attribute contained with the ltaqdcontentgt tags All xlinks to data objects will be

constructed by concatenating the unique namespace amp the localId of the spatial object or in the case of dataflow E the the unique

B - Information on Zones and Agglomerations

(AQD IPR Article 6) ndash link to e-Reporting logic

Under the IPR Decision Member States shall make available information on the delimitation and type of zones and agglomerations

established for the purposes of air quality assessment and management4 The legal obligations for reporting are set out in Article 6

and Part B of Annex II of the 2011850EC Decision

Data flow B shall be reported in two forms

1 As a forwarding looking report by 31 December each year to establish the zones that the Member States plans to implement

for the assessment and management of air quality5 in the forthcoming calendar year

2 As a retrospective report by 30 September each year to confirm (or otherwise) the zones that the Member States

implemented for the assessment and management of air quality

The AQ zones data flow is a mandatory data flow for pollutants covered by Directive 2004107EC and Article 4 of Directive

200850EC The e-Reporting data model and schema breaks the data flow into the information items (classes) outlined below

A delivery to the CDR shall include both the AQ reporting header information class relating to the zones and the AQ zones class

(aqdAQD_Zone) using inline or external encoding see common section on ReportingHeader


An explanation of the AQ reporting header information class can be found here ReportingHeader This is mandatory reporting

1989 (ETRS89) for areas within Europe For area outside the geographical scope of ETRS89 (continental Europe and neighbouring

territories) the International Terrestrial Reference System (ITRS) or other geodetic coordinate reference systems compliant with

ITRS should be used Compliant with the ITRS means that the system definition is based on the definition of the ITRS and there is

a well-documented relationship between both systems according to EN ISO 19111

In order to adopt the INSPIRE mandated systems for View Services the following coordinated reference systems are to be used

Geographical coordinate system based on ETRS89 in continental Europe - httpwwwopengisnetdefcrsEPSG04258

Preference is for the ETRS89 geodetic coordinate reference systems (ETRS89 Ellipsoidal CRS in INSPIRE ETRS89-GRS80h

EPSG code 4937 hence urnogcdefcrsEPSG4937) As an interim measure until 2020 WGS84 may also be used

(urnogcdefcrsEPSG4326 ) Where Member States are unable to convert National coordinated reference system to ETRS89 or

WGS84 (and for an interim period only to end of 2015) Member States must at a minimum report a valid srsName attribute for the

National coordinated reference system (For example urnogcdefcrsEPSG27700 for OSGB 1936 British Grid

C - Information on the assessment regime


Under the IPR Decision Member States shall make available information on the assessment regime to be applied in the following

calendar year for each pollutant This data flow allows for comprehensive description of the assessment methods applied which will

include fixed measurements and may include indicative measurements modelling and objective estimation according to Article 2

(4) of the Directive 200850EC lsquoassessmentrsquo shall mean any method used to measure calculate predict or estimate levelslsquo The

legal obligations for reporting are set out in Article 7 and Part C of Annex II of the 2011850EC Decision

Data flow C shall be reported in two forms

1 As a forwarding looking report by 31 December each year to establish the assessment regime that the Member States plans

to implement for the assessment and management of air quality6 in the forthcoming calendar year

2 As a retrospective report by 30 September each year to confirm (or otherwise) the assessment regime that the Member

States implemented for the assessment and management of air quality in the previous calendar year

The AQ assessment regime data flow is a mandatory data flow for pollutants covered by Directive 2004107EC and Article 4 of

Directive 200850EC The e-Reporting data model and schema breaks the data flow into the information items (classes) outlined

below

In addition information about designated competent authorities and bodies responsible for different aspects of quality assurance

must be provided under this data flow

The reporting XML is comprised of one instance of the AQ reporting header information class one instance of the

AQD_AssessmentRegime class for each assessment regime reported as well as one instance of the Competent Authorities class

D - Information on the assessment methods

(AQD IPR Article 8 and 9) - link to e-Reporting logic

Under the IPR Decision Member States shall make available information on the assessment methods established for the purposes

of air quality assessment and management9 The legal obligations for reporting are set out in Article 8 and 9 and Part D of Annex II

of the 2011850EC Decision Articles 6 9 and 10(6) of Directive 200850EC and Article 4 of 2004107EC

Data flow D shall be reported as a retrospective report by 30 September each year to confirm the assessment that the Member

States implemented for the assessment and management of air quality The data flow may include metadata for the following

assessment types

Fixed or indicative measurements

Modelling or objective estimation techniques

The reporting XML contains both the AQ reporting header information class together with a collection of othere AQ classes

AQD_SamplingPoint AQD_SamplingPointProcess AQD_Sample AQD_RepresentativeArea AQD_Station and AQD_ Network


An explanation of the AQ reporting header information class can be found here ldquoReporting header ltaqdAQD_ReportingHeadergtrdquo

This is mandatory and includes common data types elements (D1 D2 and D3 from IPR excel mapping) In contrast to the other

data flows where the contents being reported are usually all of the same class for data flow D the reporting header must contain

references to the following information classes

AQD_SamplingPoint

Fixed indicative measurements

The metadata for fixed and indicative measurements is composed of data grouped into information blocks (objects) as listed below

Each group is composed of several child-elements which describe in detail the properties (attributes) of each object Some

elements are linked to others and these relationships are important for reporting metadata correctly

The main information classes used to describe fixed and indicative measurements are presented below A detail specification of the

data requirements is provide by a series of links (URLs) to supporting document

AQD_Station (link to D52 mapping excel html based doc and UML bmp)

AQD_ Network (link to D53 mapping excel html based doc and UML bmp)

Figure 12Figure 12 shows the relationships between a simple fixed measurement where only one pollutant is measured In this

example AQD_SamplingPoint is linked to AQD_SamplingPointProcess AQD_Sample AQD_Station and AQD_Network

AQD_Sample is linked to AQD_RepresentativeArea AQD_Station also links to the network it belongs to (AQD_Network)

aqdrelevantEmissions

The aqdrelevantEmissions class allows for the emissions with predominant influence upon the sampling point to be characterised

for each measurement configuration (sampling point) thereby describing the emissions and sources of emission responsible for the

largest (relative) contribution to the observed concentration for the specific pollutant This information is relevant for the

interpretation of the measured data and the assessment of the representativeness of the site The child elements of the

Countries are encouraged to use ETRS89-LAEA Europe also known in the EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset under the identifier

EPSG3035 The Geodetic Datum is the European Terrestrial Reference System 1989 (EPSG6258) The Lambert Azimuthal Equal

Area (LAEA) projection is centred at 10degE 52degN Coordinates are based on a false Easting of 4321000 meters and a false

Northing of 3210000 meters As an interim measure until 2020 WGS84 may also be used (urnogcdefcrsEPSG4326 ) Where

Member States are unable to convert National coordinated reference system to ETRS89 or WGS84 (and for an interim period only

to end of 2015) Member States must at a minimum report a valid srsName attribute for the National coordinated reference system

Example efgeometry


145

At a minimum each gmlPoint element must have a valid srsName attribute (coordinated reference system) declared As noted

above for areas within Europe ETRS89-LAEA Europe is recommended For area outside the geographical scope of ETRS89

(continental Europe and neighbouring territories) the International Terrestrial Reference System (ITRS) or other geodetic coordinate

reference systems compliant with ITRS should be used Compliant with the ITRS means that the system definition is based on the

definition of the ITRS and there is a well-documented relationship between both systems according to EN ISO 19111






When providing geographical coordinates using the following srsName (srsName=urnogcdefcrsEPSG4258 or

srsName=urnogcdefcrsEPSG4326) please note that the order of the elements must be Latitud amp Longitude

Model metadata D ndash Assessment Methods

221

Models and objective estimation (Metadata for air quality assessment)

Assessment method metadata for models and objective estimation are composed of information elements grouped in a similar way

to that for fixed and indicative measurements The top-level groups of information (classes) are listed below Each class is

composed of several child-elements which describe in detail the attributes of each class Some elements are linked to others and

these relationships are important for reporting metadata correctly

The main information classes used to describe models and objective estimation are presented below The classes borrow heavily

from the data model for fixed and indicative measurements but have been adjusted to better fit the particular needs of models and

objective estimation

AQD_Model (link to D71 mapping excel html based doc and UML png)

AQD_ModelArea (link to D729 mapping excel html based doc and UML png)

AQD_ModelProcess (link to D721 mapping excel html based doc and UML png)

The data model for describing objective estimation utilises a subset of the data model for air quality models A detail specification of

the data requirements is provided by a series of links (URLs) to supporting document

At the present time we recommend that a separate model objective estimation metadata record is prepared for each pollutant and

environmental objective combination Therefore in the case for NO2 where there is an hourly an annual mean environmental

ojective Member States are recommended to manage their model objective estimation metadata record as followshad to

modelling methods eg models predicting the exceedance (or otherwise) of limit values for nitrogen dioxide

Metadata record 1 [AQD_Model-1 AQD_ModelArea-1 and AQD_ModelProcess-1] refers to the annual mean based NO2 LV

Metadata record 2 [AQD_Model-2 AQD_ModelArea-2 and AQD_ModelProcess-2] refers to the hourly mean based NO2 LV

Implementing the data model for air quality models and objective estimation techniques in this way is the simplest way of describing

and structuring the metadata needed Figure 21Figure 21 shows the relationships between components of the model and objective

D ndash Assessment Methods Model metadata

222

estimation data model base on this simple implementation (one metadata record per pollutant environmental objective

combination) In this example AQD_Model is linked to AQD_ModelProcess and AQD_ModelArea

Figure 21 ndash Linkages between air quality model and objective estimation elements (simple example)

It is recommended that where a Member State has multiple modelling and or objective estimation techniques with the same

model domain (ie modelling extent receptor locations road network etc) cross referencing via xlink href is implemented for

declaring the AQD_ModelArea This will reduce the overall file size of a delivery by reusing common features This is frequently the

case where a model for a region or Member State is predicting air quality concentrations for the same model area (domain) for

multiple pollutants and environmental objectives In this situation the organisation metadata instance should be implemented as

follows



Metadata record 3 [AQD_Model-3 AQD_ModelArea-1 and AQD_ModelProcess-3] refers to the annual mean based PM10 LV

Figure 22Figure 22 shows this relationship in such an example an multiple AQD_Model and AQD_Model Process instance are

linked to a single AQD_ModelArea instance

Model configuration parameters ltomprprocessParametergt

The omprprocessParameter element is a complex element which allows for the definition of a range of parameters some that are

INSPIRE requirements and some that will influence the application of the model configuration and as a consequence the outputs of

the model

Example omprtype


250

For a modelling perspective typical examples of using processParameter to describe the detailed configuration of an air quality

model include the encoding of information on the emission inventory used meteorology used chemical schemes applied and

sampling points used for calibration verification etc It is expected that level of information available on these types of model

ldquoparametersrdquo wil vary from model to model As a result for AQ e-Reporting their inclusion in a AQD_ModelProcess instance is

conditional on their availability Member States are expected to provide this information where it is available For the types of model

used for compliance assessments at a minimum information on the emissions inventory meteorology and sampling points used for

calibration will be readily available and should be included

a point in decimal degrees notation to 5 decimal places at a minimum The any supported geometry property types may be used to

represent the model domain although Member States are recommended to restrict usage to

i gmlPolygon to represent the geographical extent of prediction based on a grid clipped to the administrative boundaries of

the MS Using gmlPolygon can be further simplified by ensuring that initerior rings are not included

ii gmlMulticurve to represent predictions along a road network

iii gmlMultiPoint is used to represent predicts at recptor location

ISO definition of phenomenonTime ldquoThe attribute phenomenonTime shall describe the time that the result applies to

the property of the feature ndash of - interest This may be the time when a specimen was collected or the observation

procedure was performed on a real - world feature [hellip]rdquo

ISO definition of resultTime ldquoThe attribute resultTime describes the time when the result became available typically

when the procedure associated with the observation was completed For some observations this is identical to the

phenomenonTime However there are important cases where they differ

Example 1 Where a measurement is made on a specimen in a laboratory the phenomenonTime is the time the

specimen was retrieved from its host while the resultTime is the time the laboratory procedure was applied

Example 2 The resultTime also supports disambiguation of repeat measurements made of the same property of a

feature using the same procedure

Example 3 Where sensor observation results are post-processed the resultTime is the post-processing time while the

phenomenonTime is the time of initial interaction with the world

Example 4 Simulations may be used to estimate the values for phenomena in the future or past The

phenomenonTime is the time that the result applies to while the resultTime is the time that the simulation was

executed

Due to the varied nature of model and objective estimation techniques the omresult element encoding can be configured in a

number of ways For simplicity and until standardised encodings can be agreed via the FAIRMODE community we recommend

that the following formats be used to encode model and objective estimation outputs

i ASCII grid format for predictions on a regular grid or raster dataset

ii GeoTiff grid format for predictions on a regular grid or raster dataset

iii ESRI Shapefile for predictions along a vector eg road network waterway river rail track etc

iv ESRI Shapefile for predictions along a collection of receptor locations (points) or irregular grid etc

v GML Rectified Grid format for predictions on a regular grid or raster dataset

vi As a SWE data array for simple predictions (observations) of the likely maximum levels in a zone eg objective estimation

expert judgement and when GIS capability is not available or does not add value

The omresult XML block provides information on the size definition encoding of the model predictions or objective estimation

results Formats i-iv should be encoded as an external file format v-Vi may be encoded in line

Assessment result data encoding ndash for model results as an inline GML rectified grid

For encoding of model datasets which are based on a regular grid a GML rectified grid coverage may be used The omresult

element provides information on the spatial reference system used size definition encoding of the value array itself The

gmldomainSet class is used to define the regular grid gmlcoverageFunction describes how the model domain maps to the

predicted model value and gmlvalueList provides a list of the the predicted model values themselves

When implementing encoding using DataArrayGML rectified grid coverage the following information items must be provided to

accurately identify the spatial reference system used size definition encoding of the value array itself of the grid coverage




An identifier for the spatial reference system

A name for the spatial reference system

The lower left and upper right bounds for the grid envelope

The axis names for the grid system

The origin of the grid

The grid spacing

The regular expression describing grid coverage maps to a list of values

The starting point of the grid coverage to map to the list of values

A space separate list of predicted values starting from the lower left bound of the grid domain and incrementing in the

sequence described by the regular expression describing grid coverage maps to a list of values

In order to exploit commonality with the syntax used for external file encoding methods and consistency a number of swe

information classes are reused to provide high level information on the content of the GML rectified grid

(AQD IPR Article 12) - link to e-Reporting logic

Under the IPR Decision Member States shall make available information on the attainment (or otherwise) of the environmental

objectives set by Directives 2004107EC and 200850EC This data flow allows for comprehensive description of

The declaration of attainment for all environmental objectives in each zone or agglomeration including information on the

exceedance of any applicable margin of tolerance EN L 33590 Official Journal of the European Union 17122011

Where relevant a declaration that the exceedance in the zone is attributable to natural sources

Where relevant a declaration that the exceedance of a PM10 and PM25 environmental objective in the zone or

agglomeration is due to the re-suspension of particulate matter following the winter- sanding or -salting of roads

Information on the attainment of the PM25 exposure concentration obligation

Where an exceedance occurs the information made available shall also include information on the overall area exceeding and the

number of people exposed in the exceedance area(s) In all cases the information made available shall be consistent with (i) the

zone delimitation made available in data flow B for AQ zones (pursuant to Article 6) for the same calendar year (ii) the assessment

regimes (assessment methods) declared within data flow C (pursuant to Article 7) for the same zone and calendar year and (iii) the

aggregated validated assessment data derived from the primary validated data (data flow E) for the assessment methods set out by

(ii) and pursuant to the agreed aggregation rules set (httpwwweioneteuropaeuaqportalaggregation) Aggregated validated

assessment data is calculated by EEA data flow F (pursuant to Article 11)

The AQ attainment data flow is a mandatory data flow for pollutants with environmental objectives covered by Directive

2004107EC and Directive 200850EC Confirmation of exceedances of the Information and Alert thresholds based on valid

measurements for pollutants that have these thresholds is excluded from the Attainment data flow

The e-Reporting data model and schema breaks the data flow into the information classes outlined below Information on

AQD Attainment identifier - ltaqdinspireIdgt

The AQD attainment identifier provides a handle for the unique identification of each attainment statement declaration (record) and

its attributes within the XML delivery The data provider is responsible for ensuring the identifier is unique and for managing its

lifecycle within the scope of the XML instance document and the INSPIRE namespace An explanation of the identifier class can be

found in ldquoThe INSPIRE identifierrdquo section of this document

This element links each attainment statement to an AQ zone already defined in Data flow B The link is performed via the xlinkhref

attribute which references the AQ zone namespace and localID (concatenating the INSPIRE namespace and the INSPIRE localId)

As air quality zones may be set up for different pollutants different Attaintment statements may be linked to the same zone For the

ECO and ERT which are based on an annual mean concentrations from a pre-defined subset of PM25 monitoring stations (AEI

stations) and aggregated at a Member State level the aqdzone element must be voided as shown in the table and example below

This reflects that the Attaintment statement for ECO and ERT is not link to an individual zone but all zones in the Member State

relevant legal threshold and the preparation of AQ Plans Whether a margin of tolerance is applicable will depend upon the year

pollutant and the time extension derogations granted to the Member State by the Commission It is expected that from 2013 TENs

Exceedance situation descriptions ltaqdExceedanceDescriptiongt

The core function of the ltaqdExceedanceDescriptiongt classto provide information on whether the environmental objective has

been exceeded based on the observed (or predicted) maximum levels for the specified pollutant The class also allows the

maximum levels to be quantified

Owing to the complex nature of some exceedance situations for some pollutants which may have adjustments applicable eg for

natural sources (NS) and or WinterSanding and Salting (WSS) when adjustments are applicable it is necessaryto provide an

ltaqdExceedanceDescriptiongt class describing each adjustment The following sections describe and provide guidance on their

correct usage

The options for declaring exceedance description will depend on whether Member State are applying adjustments for NS or WSS

are applicable and being applied In the data model instances of the ltaqdExceedanceDescriptiongt class can be provided in three

locations with a different meaning applied to the description based on the location it is provided at

aqdexceedanceDescriptionBase Conditional (G56)

aqdexceedanceDescriptionAdjustment Conditional (G57)


In all cases the description of the final exceedance situation either with no adjustments claimed or with all adjustments applied is

mandatory and must be provided in the element aqdexceedanceDescriptionFinal within the AQD attainment record If adjustments

are applied then the aqdexceedanceDescriptionBase and aqdexceedanceDescriptionAdjustment elements must also provided

with an ltaqdExceedanceDescriptiongt instance describing both the base exceedance without adjustments

(aqdexceedanceDescriptionBase) as well as the exceedance situation taking into account each individual adjustment

(aqdexceedanceDescriptionAdjustment)

For the majority of pollutants and exceedance situations where no adjustments are applicable or appropriate the exceedance

In the ltaqdexceedanceDescriptionBasegtelement we provide an instance of the aqdExceedanceDescription class describing the

base exceedance for situations where adjustments for contributions from natural sources andor winter sanding and salting are

being claimed by the MS The information class describes the situation prior to taking into account any adjustments for

contributions from natural sources andor winter sanding and salting This information class is only required in sitiuations where

there is an adjustment Adjustments are only expected for the following pollutant PM10 PM25 SO2and CO For other pollutants like

nitrogen dioxide (NO2) benzene and lead these are either not influenced by natural contributions or the influence at the current

state of knowledge cannot be measured assessed and quantified As a result adjustment for these pollutants as well as pollutants

with target values adjustments are not expected to be applied

(ii) there are no adjustment(s) applicable

(iii) adjustment are not appropriate ie they do not (will not) reduce levels below the LV (LV+MOT) (iv) to describe the

combined effect of all adjustments

(iv) when all adjustments have been applied


384

This information class is mandatory In this document we provide two descriptions for aqdexceedanceDescriptionFinal once

without claiming adjustments (cases i to iii) and once for the situation where adjustments have been applied (case iv) For the
