Automatic air quality measurement data

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.
