Opening and Linking Agricultural Research Data

A Research Data Alliance (RDA) Interest Group has formed around a community of scientists and researchers who wish to make agricultural data, information, and knowledge more accessible. The objective of the Agricultural Data Interest Group is to get together active representatives of the major international institutions that work on agricultural research and innovation worldwide, in order to address issues related to data that are important to the development of global agriculture. The Interest Group is moving toward this goal by advancing the formation of a Wheat Data Interoperability Working Group that will address diverse data problems of 'wheat data' and, within a time period of 18 months, provide a framework for wheat data interoperability. The framework will foster the adoption of common standards and vocabularies for wheat data management, and facilitate access, discovery, reuse, and integration of that data

The ontologies community of practice: a CGIAR initiative for Big Data in agrifood systems

Heterogeneous and multidisciplinary data generated by research on sustainable global agriculture and agrifood systems requires quality data labeling or annotation in order to be interoperable. As recommended by the FAIR principles, data, labels, and metadata must use controlled vocabularies and ontologies that are popular in the knowledge domain and commonly used by the community. Despite the existence of robust ontologies in the Life Sciences, there is currently no comprehensive full set of ontologies recommended for data annotation across agricultural research disciplines. In this paper, we discuss the added value of the Ontologies Community of Practice (CoP) of the CGIAR Platform for Big Data in Agriculture for harnessing relevant expertise in ontology development and identifying innovative solutions that support quality data annotation. The Ontologies CoP stimulates knowledge sharing among stakeholders, such as researchers, data managers, domain experts, experts in ontology design, and platform development teams

Aginfra Plus D7.1 - Food Security User-Driven Requirements & Use Cases

This document introduces the domain of food security. It focuses on the analysis of the requirements for the AGINFRA PLUS use cases related to High Throughput Phenotyping and the definition of the processes to be activated for fulfilling these requirements, so that the specific use cases are implemented in the AGINFRA PLUS project. It defines the involved community and stakeholders and provides a set of typical “personas”. Moreover, different use cases related to the identified personas are described, as well as the specific data, semantics and analytics and processing involved in the implementation

AGINFRA PLUS D7.3 - Food Security Community-Centred Assessment PlanAGINFRA PLUS

This Community-centered Assessment Plan describes a detailed plan regarding the procedures to be carried out for assessing the effectiveness of the AGINFRA PLUS paradigm for research in Food Security communities. It defines the objectives of the pilot trials and their assessment. Is also defines the different actions defined in the piloting scheme including the organization of restricted or wider demonstrations and hands-on events, activation of networks, expert sessions, etc. Furthermore, the task will carry out the pilot execution and evaluation activities relative to Food Security foreseen in Task 7.1 and following the established plan and evaluation methodology
