The overall objective of this project is to coordinate and support the setting up of sustainable network for developing a system for common data exchange in agriculture.
This will be achieved by:
- Establishing a platform on data exchange in agriculture in the EU
- Developing a reference framework for interoperability of data exchange
- Identifying the main challenges for harmonizing data exchange
First, an in-depth analysis and investigation of the state-of-the art in EU member states will be carried out. A platform is built up that facilitates communication and collaborative working groups, that work on several, representative use cases, guided by an integrative reference framework. The framework consists of a sound architecture and infrastructure based on a business process modeling approach integrating existing standards and services.
The development is done in close interaction with relevant stakeholders through the platform and international workshops. The results converge into a strategic research agenda that contains a roadmap for future developments.
