Review of the 3SDW Overall System Ecosystem and Architecture

• Continued to refine the database, software, and website infrastructure supporting the data warehouse

• Refined various pre-processing components• XML Generator for metadata

• SQL scripts for importing modeled emissions data

• Extended portions of the data import system• SQL scripts for importing modeled emissions data

• Integration layer for the Emissions Management Framework (EMF)

• Refined the logical and physical file system design

• Refined the data verification and validation system

• Refined the system for acquiring and managing emissions data

Summary of Past Quarter Activities

• Interviewed several applicants for the TSDW software developer position

• Offered the position to the best candidate and received a verbal acceptance

• Candidate reneged on their acceptance the week before starting the appointment

• Designed an alternate plan for continuing the work plan with minimal impacts via an increased involvement by UNC

• Populated the data warehouse with the full complement of WestJump Base08b CAMx Input/Output data for June/July ‘08

• Refined the modeled emissions review tool

• Conducted the First Use Case Beta Test

First TSDW Modeling Use Case Report and Results

• Testers visited the TSDW website and registered with the system to create an account

• Testers visited the Data Request web page and entered their requests for the WestJump Base08b dataset

• Each request was stored in the database

• The system determined whether or not each request could be automatically filled or had to be manually assembled

• The system sent emails to the appropriate TSDW team members to notify them of the data requests

• TSDW team members assembled the dataset requests (copied the relevant data files onto hard drives)

• The datasets (hard drives) were delivered to the beta testers

• The system updated the dataset requests to reflect their “filled” status

First Use Case - Beta Test Steps

• Using the delivered datasets, testers ran the models and generated results

• Testers returned the model output results to the 3SDW

• The test results were assessed by TSDW team members

• Testing outcomes were summarized for the May 3-State AQ Study Technical Workshop

• The TSDW team refines the dataset ordering, download, packaging, and delivery system according to lessons learned

• The TSDW team develops the next Use Case testing scenario(s)

First Use Case - Beta Test Steps (cont’d)

Summer (June – October) 2013 3SAQS Technical Work Review

Data Warehouse Activities

• Implement the collaborative components of the warehouse

• Implement the ongoing news and updates section

• 3SDW on-line for NEPA air quality analysis projects by end of October

• Out-bound data delivery and in-bound data ingestion for NEPA and other air quality studies

• Data warehouse operations (hosting, data analysis and processing, maintenance, et cetera)

• Plans for storage/access/visualization for modeling results and evaluation tools

• Store UT BLM ARMS and other studies’ data in 3SDW after evaluation using protocols

Summary of Coming Activities

Testing and Refinement Help

• All users, collaborators, and partners can help with testing

• Please report bugs – don’t endure them

• Use the website Feedback form

• Send direct email to team members

• Provide as much information as possible up-front

• Stay abreast of ongoing additions and updates

• Be an active part of the design process - make suggestions for features and refinements

• Don’t assume it can’t be done

• Don’t assume it can be done

Thanks.
