4. D1.1.2
Gap exploration report (1:
general; 2: per thematic topics)
Per thematic topic? Yes.
Expert advise is needed on standards that do
not exist

5. D1.2.1
Recommendations for filling
identified gaps (1: general; 2: per
thematic topics)
Not decided how to go about it
(Big role ODI). Easy bit usability /
openness, difficult part
fitness/adoption

6. D1.2.2
Specifications for standard
interoperability services
“For instance, if we recommend to expose vocabularies
via web services, we may see if there are tools already
available or if we want to create a generic platform that
provides web services on top of SKOS or OWL or RDFS
files…

7. D1.3.1
Data publication online help desk
“Data publication online help desk, the idea is to develop an
online helpdesk along with a customized version of our data
publication platform, namely AKSTEM, which will be able to
support any interested data provider to register its datasets.
The datasets will automatically be transferred along with rich
metadata to CIARD RING and there will be also the
functionality the dataset that is being registered to point to
the standard(s) that uses from the online map of standards
(http://vest.agrisemantics.org/) ”

8. D1.4.1
Standard interoperability services
for pilot interventions
“Al we know is that we will have to
“demonstrate” the usefulness of work in
WP1 in a few pilot interventions: these
could be driven by the thematic topics
or even as you say by what happens in
WP2 and WP3.”

10. Logical framework
Global agricultural open data quality
standards developed and technologies
harnessed to create interoperable
systems for data exchange.
Number of standards documented and discoverable through a
global online map of standards
Output Indicator 3.2
Number of standardization guidelines and interoperability
specifications for the improvement of standards
Output Indicator 3.3
Increased use of standards in general and in pilot interventions in
particular
Observation: Number of standards and
guidelines measures amongst other
thngs how confused the issue is
Personal remark: work on standards is
creating an infrastructure. An
infrastructure is more visible if it does
not work
