VIEWS 2.0: IMPROVE Data Advisories
IMPROVE Data Advisories document interesting findings from the IMPROVE
database such as data anomalies, potential problems, and new uses for the
IMPROVE data.
These advisories are stored as metadata in the VIEWS database and dynamically
associated with data and products. When a user selects data, the systems checks
for any advisories relevant to the data selected and attaches them to the output.
