Precision Agriculture and Biodiversity –
Motivations of Research
• Need for adoption of Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI)
to facilitate and coordinate the exchange and sharing of
geospatial data among different organizations through
network technologies in the context of Biodiversity and
Precision Agriculture.
• A SDI provides a spatially enabled Service Oriented
Architecture (SOA) that uses Open Geoespatial
Consortium (OGC) stardardized interfaces to provide
access to webservices that deal with geopespatial
information (maps, sensors, files, etc.).

Precision Agriculture and Biodiversity –
Some Aspects Considered
• Easy interaction with maps;
• Easy composition of different sources of information;
• Static (through Enterprise Service Bus - ESB) and
Dynamic (through Web Processing Service - WPS)
Process Composition based on user selection of
deployed Webservices;
• Integration with Sensor Web Networks providing a
near-real-time aquisition of data;
• Use of a Business Process Driven SOA (BPEL, BPMN,
Workflows);
• Integration with Legacy Application Systems.
