This document discusses an open data project to create an interactive agricultural information portal. It would aggregate data from trusted sources and allow users to query information on topics like climate, pests, research, exports/imports, seeds, weather and more. Initial data sources proposed include publications, demographic and financial data, statistics, maps, and food safety sources. Additional potential sources are agricultural publications, national-level statistics and geospatial data, and market price streams. The working group will finalize the data components, test SPARQL endpoints, and discuss options for a JavaScript client and federated search across endpoints.

1. Open Data Working Group:
Showcases from agricultural domain

2. Agricultural Showcase Concept
• High level pitch:
– Open data powered iGoogle for agricultural
• Not single mash up but interactive approach e.g.
user can enter a query term, he can expand
queries etc.
• Trusted sources
• Cases
– Stevia Coop
– Venus Coop
– Public bodies?

3. How it can look like?
Climate change
Pests info
Research
achievements
Export/Import
news
Seed/Varieties/G
enetic
New fertilizers
Weather info
and forecasts for
local area
….

4. DATA SOURCES
TO START WITH

5. Publications

6. Demographic and financial

7. Statistical and Maps

8. Food Safety

9. DATA SOURCES
AND CONTINUE WITH

10. Focus only on agricultural publications

11. Statistical at national level

12. Geo at national level

13. Market prices stream
Problem with the vegetables

14. Collaboration
• Finalize the data components in the wireframe
• Check the end points and bring ideas on
combining data
• JS client for SPARQL
• Federated search over sparql end point
– feasible?
– does it make sense?
