- 1. Web Services for Air Quality Management Air Quality management requires data from many distributed sources For AQ management, data need to be filtered, aggregated and fused Loosely coupled web services are a promising technology The http://DataFed.Net tools follow such a Service Oriented Architecture to access, process and deliver AQ-relevant information R.
