DATA ECOSYSTEM WORKING GROUP
ABOUT
The GODAN Data Ecosystem Working Group (WG) explores the daring vision of catalysing the creation a global, common data ecosystem for agriculture and food. It builds upon the ideas presented in the GODAN discussion paper “A Global Data Ecosystem for Agriculture and Food”. It is motivated and inspired by the fact that many organisations (public or private) see great value in continuing this discussion about what such an ecosystem could look like.
The Data Ecosystem WG brings together data infrastructure initiatives that see value in adopting common thinking and principles. In particular, to review the recommendations that the discussion paper makes and see how they may be adapted, contextualised, prioritised and implemented in specific environments and applications. The Data Ecosystem WG tries to help such initiatives shape a roadmap that will refine and implement the initial recommendations within their individual data infrastructure projects. In this way, it also tries to affect the way that investments are made in such infrastructures for agriculture and food information, so that the vision of a linked and interoperable set of infrastructures (a data ecosystem) may become a reality.
The main focus of the group will be the organisation of activities that fall under three thematic areas, exploring different facets of a global data ecosystem including:
The final objective of this work is to provide a set of semantically interlinked URIs for key food product concepts as an infrastructural component that will facilitate the development of both software for actors in the food value chain and added-value integrated services that need to track food products.
