NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document
- The user can view ambient environmental data points by selecting an
environmental parameters and timeframes
- The user can zoom in on any neighborhood and select an individual
building. Basic characteristics will be displayed for a selected
building, including: Block / Lot / BIN etc. - to be defined
- Whether the building is scheduled to be cleaned or has been cleaned
by DEP contractors or other parties will be noted
- Environmental monitoring data obtained from within or on the exterior
of the building (if any) will be presented in summary fashion - to be
defined (some data may not be accessible to the public for legal
reasons)
- Selecting a specific parameter on the data summary page will call up
spreadsheets containing detailed environmental monitoring data for that
parameter
The environmental data present complexities. We have probably >200,000
individual analytical results. Some buildings will have no
environmental data; others will have a large amount of data across a
variety of contaminants, as well as variations in reporting formats,
sampling durations, sampling methods, units of measurements, etc. We
need to decide whether it is desirable/feasible to "clean and
standardize" all the environmental data or present data sets as they
currently exist, with consideration of the costs and timeframes
associated with these options.
Meeting Agenda:
- The "end product" - what we want it to provide and when we want it to
be functional
- Update on buildings inventory
- Develop a list of all building characteristics fields
- Identify all environmental data sets by agency
- "Clean & standardize" v. data "as is"
- Database architecture development: process and timeframe
