Project Title:
Air Quality System Transaction Editor
Sponsoring Office:
Office of Air and Radiation, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, Outreach and Information Division, National Air Data Group
Project Overview:
This project will involve development of a tool for managing air quality monitoring data based on Microsoft Excel 2003 or Open Office. The Air Quality System (AQS) supports input and output of air quality monitoring data and metadata in a specific set of data formats; these formats include delimited transactions and XML documents. This project will involve the development of an Excel-based environment with the capabilities to both read and write each of the AQS file and transaction formats and to allow creation of new transactions (rows in a worksheet), update transactions that have been previously read or created, or delete transactions that have been previously read or created. Furthermore, to ensure data quality, the tool will allow validation of transactions against reference information extracted from AQS. To accomplish this goal, the tool will incorporate capabilities to read this reference information in data formats exported by AQS. The project will also include development of optional capabilities, time permitting, such as reading and writing AIR-Now transaction formats. Potential applicants must have college-level coursework or equivalent Microsoft Excel Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming experience.
Project Goals:
The fellow will gain critical insight into the issues and complexities of environmental data management through development of a product to manage the various types of data associated with ambient air quality monitoring.
Final Product of the Project:
The fellow will develop a software tool for managing air quality monitoring data.
Project Location:
EPA Headquarters, Research Triangle Park, NC
