Introduction
The user guide to the AQ e-Reporting XML schema amp data model is targeted at air quality experts working in cooperation with
their IT support staff working on the implementation of reporting under Decision 2011850EU This guide aims to provide
necessary information for all data-flows and elements required by this Decision
The guide currently describes in detail the following information items from an AQ perspective
Online resources
Common XML structure for e-reporting
Common information elements data types
o The GML identifier
o The INSPIRE identifier
o The AQ reporting header
o Environmental objective type
Data flow B ndash Information on zones and agglomerations
Data flow C ndash Information on the assessment regime
Data flow D ndash Information on the assessment methods
Data flow E ndash Information on assessment data (Observational data from fixed and indicative sampling points)
Data flow G ndash Information on Attaintment of Environmental Objectives
Introduction

Online resources
In order to facilitate the implementation of the Decision 2011850EU the European Environment Agency (EEA) has set up the Air
Quality Portal to support the transition to e-Reporting The AQ portal managed by ETCACM is the central HUB for reporting air
quality data across Europe via e-Reporting The AQ portal includes online resources for
Guidelines amp reports for e-Reporting - httpwwweioneteuropaeuaqportalguidelines
Controlled code lists and vocabularies for e-Reporting ndash httpwwweioneteuropaeuaqportalcodelists

Central repository for data deliveries ndash piloting phase httpwwweioneteuropaeuaqportalDrep1
Helpdesk for reporting ndash httpwwweioneteuropaeuaqportalHelpdeskFAQ
Guidance guides and guideline documents
A range of guidance documents has been prepared by DG-ENV the EEA and ETCACM to describe different components of the e-
Reporting process These support the implementation of both legal obligations (implementing provisions) and provide informative
best practice on effective e-Reporting A list is available on the air quality portal1 covering
User guide to XML and data model (latest version)
Aggregation rules for e-Reporting

INSPIRE data specification and draft guidelines for AQ e-Reporting
A list of latest INSPIRE data specifications upon which the Air Quality Data Model has been based is also available at the portal
Links to this information on the INSPIRE web site have been provide on the Portal and below An air quality specific interpretation
of these INSPIRE requirements including how they are implemented in the e-Reporting data model is summarised in this document
to facilitate adoption of INSPIRE elements within the Air Quality Community
Data Specification on Area managementrestrictionregulation zones and reporting units - Technical Guidelines
Data Specification on Environmental monitoring Facilities - Technical Guidelines
Data Specification on Atmospheric Conditions - Meteorological geographical features

Controlled code lists amp vocabularies for AQ e-Reporting
The contents of many elements within the AQ e-Reporting data model are controlled via code lists amp vocabulary managed by the
EEA The code lists are managed outside the schemata itself Latest information and updates are available at
httpwwweioneteuropaeuaqportalcodelists The full list of EEA vocabularies are available at
httpddeioneteuropaeuvocabularies
The following vocabularies are of relevance to AQ e-Reporting
aq (Air Quality Directive e-Reporting)
common (Shared vocabularies)
uom (Units of Measurement)
The syntax to link to any air quality code is as follows httpddeioneteuropaeuvocabularyaqltCodeListIdgtltValueIdgt
In order to declare to the pollutant being observed as Ozone (O3) the code is constructed as follows
httpddeioneteuropaeuvocabularyaqpollutant7 - url link
In order to declare to the AQ zone as an Agglomeration the code is constructed as follows
httpddeioneteuropaeuvocabularyaqzonetypeagg - url link
EEArsquos central vocabulary repository is also used for other environmental domains including water quality biodiversity noise etc
There are some common codes that use the syntax

In order to declare the concentration unit of any measurement like gm3 the code is constructed as follows
httpddeioneteuropaeuvocabularyuomconcentrationugm-3 - url link
To declare the time unit the code would be like httpddeioneteuropaeuvocabularyuomtimehour - url link
In addition to the AQ e-Reporting specific code lists some elements require entries from the INSPIRE codelists located at
httpinspireeceuropaeucodelist The syntax to be followed is the same as shown above appending the CodeListId and ValueId
to the base codelist path as follows httpinspireeceuropaeucodelistltCodeListIdgtltValueIdgt
In order to declare that the media being monitored at an AQD_Station is air the code is constructed as follows

XML schema documents for AQ e-Reporting
The latest AQ e-Reporting schema is maintained at httpddeioneteuropaeuschemasetid2011850eu-10 This link can be
accessed via the air quality portal The folder contains the latest schema and accompanying information such as an Excel based
mapping document which links AQD IPR data elements to the schema data elements using XPath notation The AQ e-Reporting
schema is version controlled to accommodate changes in the data model which will be kept to a minimum but may occur from time
to time2 An internal schema version attribute tag is used to indicate the version of the schema eg version=107 When a
schema version is superseded this will be deprecated
The latest stable XSD will always be found at httpddeioneteuropaeuschemasid2011850eu-10AirQualityReportingxsd

Central repository for AQ e-Reporting data deliveries
The Central Data Repository (CDR) is part of EEArsquos ReportNet architecture The data reports within each country collection are
arranged under the relevant reporting obligations
For AQ e-Reporting Figure 1Figure 1 shows an example of CDR folder for annual reporting of air quality information (excluding
primary up-to-date (E2a) information) Links to all official country reports can be found at

Common AQ e-Reporting data types information elements amp XML structures
Within the AQ e-Reporting data model data flows a number of data types or blocks of data regularly reappear A description of
these common data types is provided in the following section to avoid repetition later in this guide Where they are reused in the
data flows themselves citations to the sections below are provided for detailed information as needed contextual data flow
specific information may also be provided
Before identifying and describing those common elements and types within the XMLs the common XML structure for e-Reporting is
described
Common XML structures used in AQ e-Reporting
All valid XML instance documents (deliveries) must certain elements and structures to comply with validation rules defined both by
the basic W3C XML definitions the GML encoding rules as well as by the AQ e-Reporting schema These generalised XML rules
are described below
XML declarations
The AQ e-Reporting XML instance documents must declare both the version of XML being used in the XML document and the
character encoding standard being used in the first line of the XML document In all cases these will be set as follows
ltxml version=10 encoding=UTF-8gt

Feature collection ltgmlFeatureCollectiongt
The GML FeatureCollection element is the root element for all AQ e-Reporting XML instance documents All spatial and non-spatial
AQ data objects (features) with identity (discrete groups of AQ information eg stations models assessment regimes etc) are child
elements of the FeatureCollection element These data objects are easy to identify within the AQD e-Reporting schema as their
names all begin with ldquoAQDrdquo The XML namespace (xmlns) attributes of this element specify the namespaces and schemas used
(imported) by the AQ e-Reporting schema These imported schemas are INSPIRE OGC W3C and ISO standards which have
been extended to support AQ e-Reporting needs within the AQD e-Reporting schema

Feature collection identification ltgmlidgt
The gmlFeatureCollection root element contains a gml identifier (gmlid) This identifier is constrained to be unique within the XML
data flow delivery document in which it occurs In addition there are strict syntax rules3 for the creation of a gmlid for more
detailed information please see section 2 Error Reference source not found
Referencing gmlid (ONLY for observations)
As the OM_Obervation type used for the provision of measurement data has been adopted directly from the ISO specification it
lacks an INSPIRE Identifier In such cases the gmlid of the OM_Observation object should be used instead of the localId of the
INSPIRE Identifier for the creation of xlink URLs The namespace used for the provision of the other parts of the AQ e-Reporting
should also be used in this case the syntax of the URL should be the same as when referencing data objects with an INSPIRE
Identifier This is the only exception where gmlid are used to reference objects

also provide this kind of information in the filename of the XML document

XML namespace (xmlns) attribute declarations
From an AQ perspective you do not need to be concerned with either the required XML namespaces declarations or their meaning
What is important is that the correct namespaces are declared for each data flow in a standardised manner the declarations
Example gmlid with gmlFeatureCollection
B ndash Zones
25
presented above must always be provided as attributes of the FeatureCollection element within each data flow If in doubt copy and
paste the full text above modifying the gmlid attribute appropriately this will ensure that all necessary namespaces are declared
For context XML namespaces and namespace prefixes are used for uniquely identifying the source of named types as well as their
elements and attributes in an XML document Each xmlns attribute within the FeatureCollection consists of a string containing both
the namespace prefix to be used as well as the unique namespace of the schema being referenced For example the namespace
prefix ldquoaqdrdquo is defined as belonging to the schema with the namespace httpddeioneteuropaeuschemasetid2011850eu-10 the
following entry will be required in the namespace declaration of the FeatureCollection
xmlnsaqd=rdquo httpddeioneteuropaeuschemasetid2011850eu-10rdquo
Once this has been declared it is clear that all elements prefixed with aqd are to be interpreted as stemming from the schema with
the namespace httpddeioneteuropaeuschemasetid2011850eu-10
An example of a naming conflict which can be avoided using a namespace prefix relates to aqdpollutant in the AQ e-Reporting
schema The aqd prefix indicates that this pollutant element belongs to the aqd namespace ie AQ e-Reporting and should be
interpreted as such The prefix also infers that the element may (will) have a different definition (and meaning) to a pollutant
element that specified by the Water Framework Directive (for example) The prefix is given meaning by being assigned to the
correct namespace in the FeatureCollection namespace declaration eg
xmlnsaqd=rdquohttpddeioneteuropaeuschemasetid2011850eu-10
Other data elements are taken from the INSPIRE data specifications as well as from the underlying ISO standards These data
specifications each have their own unique namespaces to differentiate their elements from those defined within other namespaces
Examples of these base namespaces are

Identifiers and referencing
In complex data models it is necessary to link together different pieces of information to provide a complete picture Some
examples of this are
Linking SamplingPoints to Stations
Linking SamplingPoints to Zones
Linking Observations to SamplingPoints
In order to provide an unambiguous link to an object the object must be identifiable A unique object identifier must be assigned to
this object that fullfills the following requirements
Uniqueness (ie the identifier is only used once for one explicit data object it will not be re-used in the future for a different
object)
Persistence (ie the identifier is always used for one explicit data object the same object will not be provided using a
different identifier)
Traceability (ie the identifier has to provide sufficient information about the source of the spatial object) and feasibility (ie
well aligned with any pre-existing national identifier systems to enable mapping)
Feasibility (ie well aligned with any pre-existing national identifier systems to enable mapping)
Based on these unique object identifiers it is then possible for one data object to provide a reference to a related data object ie a
SamplingPoint can include explicit information on its ZoneThe following sections detail the identifiers used within AQ e-Reporting
as well as the mechanism defined for referencing between data objects
The INSPIRE identifier
Within AQ e-Reporting the INSPIRE concept for a common framework for the unique identification of spatial objects is used not
only for those objects that have been extended from the INSPIRE specifications such as the AQD_Station it has also been applied
to non-spatial data objects with identity eg an assessment regime
B ndash Zones
30
The INSPIRE unique identifiers used for spatial and non-spatial data objects in the AQ e-Reporting data model consist of three
parts
1 A namespace to identify the data source The namespace is owned by the data provider and registered in the INSPIRE
External Object Identifier Namespaces Register
2 A local identifier assigned by the data provider The local identifier is unique within the namespace ie no other spatial
object carries the same unique identifier
3 An optional version identifier to be used in cases where an updated version of an existing data object is being provided is
also available
B ndash Zones
31
Identifiers have a key role in joining up the components of the AQ e-Reporting data model and need to allow for easy processing of
identifiers in software applications of the e-Reporting data management systems therefore some constraints are placed on the
syntax of identifiers Identifiers are not constrained in length but in the characters they can use they must start with a letter (capital
or small) or an underscore (ldquo_rdquo) while the further characters must be either letters (capital or small) numbers or one of the following
characters underscore (ldquo_rdquo) dash (-)full stop ()
A version identifier may also be included where data model contains life-cycle information for a spatial or non-spatial data object
The version identifier allows for diffentiation between the different versions of the same spatial or data object Within a set of all
versions of an object the version identifier is unique The version identifier is not used when referencing an INSPIRE object
The parent child relationship of XML elements that make up the INSPIRE identifier is shown in Figure 3Figure 3
Figure 3 ndash INSPIRE identifier elements
Within the different data flows the inspireId will be found within elements associated with the following namespaces
ltaqdinspireIdgt for objects specific to the Air Quality Directives
ltefinspireIdgt for objects based on INSPIRE Environmental Monitoring Facilities
ltaminspireIdgt for objects based on INSPIRE Area managementrestrictionregulation zones and reporting units
For Observations amp Measurements and Sensor Web Enablement the inspireId is not used Instead the gmlid is used as the
unique identifier

INSPIRE namespace
The INSPIRE namespace is key to identify the source of a dataset or spatial object In the simplest sense it is a collection of
names assembled within a uniform resource identifier (URI) reference to ensure uniqueness across spatial datasets down to
authority level The namespace value will be owned by the data provider of the spatial object and will be registered in the INSPIRE
External Object Identifier Namespaces Register This latter requirement will necessitate a liaison between AQ e-Reporters and their
local INSPIRE representatives For the implementation of AQ e-Reporting two options are provided below We recommend that air
quality practisioners engage with national INSPIRE representatives in order to understand and align AQ systems with any pre-
existing National implementation of INSPIRE namespaces
Identify national INSPIRE representatives
The following INSPIRE pages provide lists with contact information
httpinspirejrceceuropaeuindexcfmpageid481 or httpinspirejrceceuropaeuindexcfmpageid5041
Determine national URI scheme for the definition of INSPIRE namespaces as well as specific URI assigned
to the data provider for AQD data
Option 1 ndash URI implementation at National level
When implementing a URI approach to namespace definition the national INSPIRE authority within the member state needs to provide guidance on the agreed approach for creating and managing the INSPIRE namespaces within the MS Some national approaches to defining the INSPIRE URI are shown below as an example
inspireNamespace = prefix[type][theme][concept] prefix = httpdomaincollection
Where [theme may be a 2-digit code for the relevant INSPIRE theme concept may be the sector specific concept name for the type of entities associated with a given reference designator eg road school river Example from the United Kingdom httpenvironmentdatagovukair-qualityso Example from Germany httpgdiubadearcgisrestservicesinspireDEUBAAQD

Option 2 ndash INSPIRE URN type namespace
When implementing a Unique Resource Name (URN) approach the definition of the namespace should consist of three parts The
first part will identify the member state the second part will identify the data provider within the member state and the third part will
be used to distinguish between different data sources maintained and published by the data provider

INSPIRE versionId
The version identifier is optional within the InspireId If applied the version identifier is used to distinguish between different
versions of a spatial object Within the set of all versions of a spatial object the version identifier is unique For air quality reporting
the versionId should be used identify the lifecycle of deliveries of spatial objects
When the providing data system uses versioning this value can be incremented each time the data object changes Thus the initial
version (which need not be provided) would be ldquo1rdquo the next version ldquo2rdquo and so on However in cases where the the providing data
system does not provide explicit versioning a simple solution is to provide a timestamp in the version field (ISO 8601 encoded as
all timestamps within the AQD e-Reporting) Thus a unique version is provided each time the data object is provided Whilst this

The GML identifier attribute
The attribute gmlid supports provision of a handle for the XML element (data object with identity) in the AQ e-Reporting data
model allowing for unique identification of this data object It is mandatory for each XML feature type (spatial and non-spatial AQ
data objects with identity) and appears as an attribute of the XML element providing this feature type

used for referencing purposes within the AQ e-Reporting except for referencing to OM_Observations as this function is covered by
the INSPIRE Id as described above For simplicity and clarity it is recommended to use the same entry for the gmlid as is
used for the local id in the INSPIRE identifier However there are elements which require gmlid that do not have a
corresponding INSPIRE Id For these elements gmlids must be created the constraints applicable to gmlid attribute are
summarised below

39
The following syntax is recommended for the creation of gmlids The first part of the id should be the recommended prefix specified
for the creation of the localId of the INSPIRE Id as described in section ldquoINSPIRE localIdrdquo the second part the gmlid should be the
acronym for the datatype requiring the gmlid as listed in the table below In order to assure uniqueness a third unique part must be
added to the identifier this part can either be a simple sequence of numbers (as long as each number is only used once) or a
GUID can be generated and used for this purpose (most programming languages support the automatic creation of unique GUIDs)
As a further option further parts of the localId of the main feature type can be added to provide more information on the context
For OM_Observation feature types the prefix OBS should be used The rest of the gmlid for observations should be composed in
the same manner as the localId part of the INSPIRE Id explained above

Referencing between data objects with xlink
Based on the requirements of AQ e-Reporting the data model is composed of many individual data objects (featureTypes) that
must reference each other Examples of this are the links between a station and its sampling points or the sampling points linked to
an assessment regime INSPIRE and AQ e-Reporting provide an URL based approach for referencing between all spatial and non-
spatial data objects using the xlinkhref attribute the value of the xlinkhref attribute provides a unique reference to the object to be
linked to All xlinks to data objects will be constructed by concatenating the unique namespace amp the localId of the spatial object
Using xlink it is possible to provide complex information in more simple pieces The data objects need not be nested within each
other but can be provided individually with an xlink entry showing how the pieces link together This is especially useful in the more
complex data flows such as data flow D In this case the individual components eg network information station information
sampling point information etc can be provided individually as FeatureMembers within a FeatureCollection Then in the highest
level data object instead of including the entire nested data object only an xlink uniquely identifying this nested data object is
provided Thus an AQD_SamplingPoint need not include all information on itrsquos corresponding station within the efbroader element
but instead can provide an xlink referencing to this data object It is also possible to reference the same data object from different
objects making it possible to provide the relevant information only once and then reference it wherever required

Referencing using inspireId
For referencing to data objects that contain an inspireId the namespace and localId elements should be concatenated together to
provide a unique reference to the data object being referenced In the case that the MS INSPIRE coordinator has provided a
different syntax this syntax should be followed

Referencing gmlid (ONLY for observations)
As the OM_Obervation type used for the provision of measurement data has been adopted directly from the ISO specification it
lacks an INSPIRE Identifier In such cases the gmlid of the OM_Observation object should be used instead of the localId of the
INSPIRE Identifier for the creation of xlink URLs The namespace used for the provision of the other parts of the AQ e-Reporting
should also be used in this case the syntax of the URL should be the same as when referencing data objects with an INSPIRE
Identifier This is the only exception where gmlid are used to reference objects

At a minimum each gmlPolygon element must have a valid srsName attribute (coordinated reference system) declared For two-
dimensional coordinate reference systems the preference for the datum used is for the European Terrestrial Reference System
1989 (ETRS89) for areas within Europe For area outside the geographical scope of ETRS89 (continental Europe and neighbouring
territories) the International Terrestrial Reference System (ITRS) or other geodetic coordinate reference systems compliant with
ITRS should be used Compliant with the ITRS means that the system definition is based on the definition of the ITRS and there is
a well-documented relationship between both systems according to EN ISO 19111
In order to adopt the INSPIRE mandated systems for View Services the following coordinated reference systems are to be used
Geographical coordinate system based on ETRS89 in continental Europe - httpwwwopengisnetdefcrsEPSG04258
Geographical coordinate system based on ITRS outside of continental Europe -

Preference is for the ETRS89 geodetic coordinate reference systems (ETRS89 Ellipsoidal CRS in INSPIRE ETRS89-GRS80h
EPSG code 4937 hence urnogcdefcrsEPSG4937) As an interim measure until 2020 WGS84 may also be used
(urnogcdefcrsEPSG4326 ) Where Member States are unable to convert National coordinated reference system to ETRS89 or
WGS84 (and for an interim period only to end of 2015) Member States must at a minimum report a valid srsName attribute for the
National coordinated reference system (For example urnogcdefcrsEPSG27700 for OSGB 1936 British Grid

legal obligations for reporting are set out in Article 7 and Part C of Annex II of the 2011850EC Decision
Data flow C shall be reported in two forms
1 As a forwarding looking report by 31 December each year to establish the assessment regime that the Member States plans
to implement for the assessment and management of air quality6 in the forthcoming calendar year
2 As a retrospective report by 30 September each year to confirm (or otherwise) the assessment regime that the Member
States implemented for the assessment and management of air quality in the previous calendar year
The AQ assessment regime data flow is a mandatory data flow for pollutants covered by Directive 2004107EC and Article 4 of
Directive 200850EC The e-Reporting data model and schema breaks the data flow into the information items (classes) outlined

Under the IPR Decision Member States shall make available information on the assessment methods established for the purposes
of air quality assessment and management9 The legal obligations for reporting are set out in Article 8 and 9 and Part D of Annex II
of the 2011850EC Decision Articles 6 9 and 10(6) of Directive 200850EC and Article 4 of 2004107EC
Data flow D shall be reported as a retrospective report by 30 September each year to confirm the assessment that the Member
States implemented for the assessment and management of air quality The data flow may include metadata for the following
assessment types
Fixed or indicative measurements
Modelling or objective estimation techniques
The reporting XML contains both the AQ reporting header information class together with a collection of othere AQ classes
AQD_SamplingPoint AQD_SamplingPointProcess AQD_Sample AQD_RepresentativeArea AQD_Station and AQD_ Network
Reporting header ltaqdAQD_ReportingHeadergt
An explanation of the AQ reporting header information class can be found here ldquoReporting header ltaqdAQD_ReportingHeadergtrdquo
This is mandatory and includes common data types elements (D1 D2 and D3 from IPR excel mapping) In contrast to the other
data flows where the contents being reported are usually all of the same class for data flow D the reporting header must contain

Fixed indicative measurements
The metadata for fixed and indicative measurements is composed of data grouped into information blocks (objects) as listed below
Each group is composed of several child-elements which describe in detail the properties (attributes) of each object Some
elements are linked to others and these relationships are important for reporting metadata correctly
The main information classes used to describe fixed and indicative measurements are presented below A detail specification of the
data requirements is provide by a series of links (URLs) to supporting document

At a minimum each gmlPoint element must have a valid srsName attribute (coordinated reference system) declared As noted
above for areas within Europe ETRS89-LAEA Europe is recommended For area outside the geographical scope of ETRS89
(continental Europe and neighbouring territories) the International Terrestrial Reference System (ITRS) or other geodetic coordinate
reference systems compliant with ITRS should be used Compliant with the ITRS means that the system definition is based on the
definition of the ITRS and there is a well-documented relationship between both systems according to EN ISO 19111

Model metadata D ndash Assessment Methods
221
Models and objective estimation (Metadata for air quality assessment)
Assessment method metadata for models and objective estimation are composed of information elements grouped in a similar way
to that for fixed and indicative measurements The top-level groups of information (classes) are listed below Each class is
composed of several child-elements which describe in detail the attributes of each class Some elements are linked to others and
these relationships are important for reporting metadata correctly
The main information classes used to describe models and objective estimation are presented below The classes borrow heavily
from the data model for fixed and indicative measurements but have been adjusted to better fit the particular needs of models and
objective estimation
AQD_Model (link to D71 mapping excel html based doc and UML png)
AQD_ModelArea (link to D729 mapping excel html based doc and UML png)
AQD_ModelProcess (link to D721 mapping excel html based doc and UML png)
The data model for describing objective estimation utilises a subset of the data model for air quality models A detail specification of
the data requirements is provided by a series of links (URLs) to supporting document
At the present time we recommend that a separate model objective estimation metadata record is prepared for each pollutant and
environmental objective combination Therefore in the case for NO2 where there is an hourly an annual mean environmental
ojective Member States are recommended to manage their model objective estimation metadata record as followshad to
modelling methods eg models predicting the exceedance (or otherwise) of limit values for nitrogen dioxide
Metadata record 1 [AQD_Model-1 AQD_ModelArea-1 and AQD_ModelProcess-1] refers to the annual mean based NO2 LV
Metadata record 2 [AQD_Model-2 AQD_ModelArea-2 and AQD_ModelProcess-2] refers to the hourly mean based NO2 LV
Implementing the data model for air quality models and objective estimation techniques in this way is the simplest way of describing
and structuring the metadata needed Figure 21Figure 21 shows the relationships between components of the model and objective

222
estimation data model base on this simple implementation (one metadata record per pollutant environmental objective
combination) In this example AQD_Model is linked to AQD_ModelProcess and AQD_ModelArea
Figure 21 ndash Linkages between air quality model and objective estimation elements (simple example)
It is recommended that where a Member State has multiple modelling and or objective estimation techniques with the same
model domain (ie modelling extent receptor locations road network etc) cross referencing via xlink href is implemented for
declaring the AQD_ModelArea This will reduce the overall file size of a delivery by reusing common features This is frequently the
case where a model for a region or Member State is predicting air quality concentrations for the same model area (domain) for
multiple pollutants and environmental objectives In this situation the organisation metadata instance should be implemented as
follows
Metadata record 1 [AQD_Model-1 AQD_ModelArea-1 and AQD_ModelProcess-1] refers to the annual mean based NO2 LV
Metadata record 2 [AQD_Model-2 AQD_ModelArea-1 and AQD_ModelProcess-2] refers to the hourly mean based NO2 LV
Metadata record 3 [AQD_Model-3 AQD_ModelArea-1 and AQD_ModelProcess-3] refers to the annual mean based PM10 LV
Figure 22Figure 22 shows this relationship in such an example an multiple AQD_Model and AQD_Model Process instance are
linked to a single AQD_ModelArea instance
