Atom data feed
This web page is aimed at members of the scientific and developer communities interested in bulk and automated data downloads in machine readable formats. To return to the home page please click ‘Home’ on the menu bar at the top of this page.
Northern Ireland Air’s air quality Atom feeds provide users with a resource to download measurement data and metadata (attribute information) on measurement methods in open formats. The Atom feeds are aimed at users wanting to download larger volumes of data in a consistent format. The download formats and services conform to the INSPIRE data and service specifications for pre-defined downloads and are intended to support commitments to INSPIRE and wider governmental Open Data strategies.
The measurement data and metadata are encoded in XML using the European Air Quality e-Reporting data model. Each download is encapsulated in an Atom feed which can be subscribed to (like an RSS feed) in order to receive notifications of updates.
Downloads have organised into four download service feeds covering;
- Automatic air quality measurement data
- Non-automatic air quality measurement data
- Aggregated air quality statistics
- Metadata on air quality assessment and management methods (air quality spatial objects and data objects)
