Re: Open Data for Agriculture

Hi Steve,

There is a lot of work that has happened/is happening in this area. In 
particular, I would like to point to the deliverables from the
SmartAgrifood and the FIspace projects which include dedicated sections 
on vocabularies available for use within the agrifood sectors.

http://www.fispace.eu/

Jurgen, has already mentioned WUR. A recent presentation from a 
scientist, Daan Goense at WUR and the developer of the drmCrop model can 
be found here:

It also comes with a reference implementation from Limetri

You may also find it useful to look at the proceedings of the 
SmartAgrimatics conference:

Then there is agroRDF,

Finally, I would recommend getting in touch with Daan Goense 
(daan.goense@wur.nl) for a more comprehensive discussion on models in 
agriculture.

Regards,

Monika
