data sharing and discovery
across networks?

within a collaboration…
• many people, from several groups, from
different organisations
• working on common topics of interest
• sharing information about what they do
–within the network
–with the rest of the world

typical challenges
• sharing topic-specific information from larger,
generic data sources
– e.g. food safety publications & data sets from the WB
open repositories
• combining information from multiple data
sources
– e.g. all food safety course & OER offerings from several
institutions
• providing simple, seamless search services to users
– e.g. combining information coming in different metadata
formats, through both harvesting and querying protocols

how does it look like?
http://www.akstem.com/gfsp

next challenges
• search & results mashing up different
information/data types from multiple sources
• linking from one information resource to
another, regardless of format & type
• going beyond metadata, into data searching,
processing, visualising etc.

Genebank managers should be knowledgeable about the history of genebank management including past courses, current courses, and existing training resources. International instruments emphasize the importance of building human capacity in areas like genetic resources policy, taxonomy, seed physiology, incentives for crop diversity, and linking crop diversity to climate change. Effective genebank management also requires knowledge of neglected areas like financial management, strategic partnerships, traditional knowledge, sample tracking, and disease testing. The future of genebank manager training should involve modular, flexible courses tailored for different audiences that focus on quality management and include mentorship opportunities.

This document discusses regional plans for biofortification in Africa. It outlines the Framework for African Food Security which aims to increase resilience through decreasing food insecurity and linking vulnerable people to agricultural opportunities. The plans focus on improved risk management, increased and more affordable food production, economic opportunities, and diversified, more nutritious diets. Regional coordination is seen as key through high-level political support, shared priorities and accountability, and incentives for private sector investment in nutrition-sensitive value chains. Information sharing and advocacy are also emphasized to address preferences and overcome constraints such as facilitating trade of biofortified crops. Partnerships between organizations are proposed to advocate for and analyze impacts of biofortification at regional and national levels.

Open Data Working Group - Agricultural Showcase

Stoitsis Giannis

The document discusses how open data can help agricultural organizations and the Ministry of Rural Development and Food in Greece. It describes a cooperative growing stevia that faces challenges around food safety standards, processing facility location, organic production investment, and pricing. Open data like educational resources, standards, maps, and market/weather data could help address these. A food safety knowledge portal is proposed to aggregate these open data sources. The Ministry also requires open data to determine investing in new crops like stevia, including irrigation/land maps, production statistics, and equipment/import information. The showcase aims to demonstrate these use cases through a demo portal indexing open educational and job profile data for food safety topics.

Webinar@ASIRA: Emerging Themes in Agricultural Research Publishing

AIMS (Agricultural Information Management Standards)

By Thomas Ingraham, Publishing Editor at F1000Research 15 February 2017- 15:00 CET --The webinar was held as part of ASIRA (Access to Scientific Information Resources in Agriculture) Online Course for Low-Income Countries-- This webinar covers three emerging themes in life science publishing, which will begin to influence the way in which the agricultural researchers share and access knowledge: Faster dissemination: Publishing scientific articles is often a lengthy process, taking several months or even years from first submission. This prevents the research community and others from being able to act on new knowledge quickly, which is especially serious in emergency situations such as emerging infectious diseases. This webinar will cover two ways of tackling publication delays: preprint servers and post-publication peer review platforms. Increased access & transparency: Open Access has helped remove access barriers to a vast body of scientific knowledge. Other important research outputs that have historically been difficult to access are starting to be published more frequently such as replications, data, code and referee reports. Assessment of research: Researches are assessed by their publication record. Journal title and Impact Factor tend to be the default assessment criteria, though there is growing awareness of the disadvantages of these approaches, and alternative measures of quality and impact are gaining ground. About Thomas Ingraham: Tom is the Publishing Editor at F1000Research and has been involved with the publisher’s open science and editorial development since its inception in 2012. He manages several channels published on F1000Research, including those focussing on agriculture, and is the lead on several of the publisher’s open data-orientated projects.

AIMS (Agricultural Information Management Standards)

Open access has been a positive force in scientific publishing. But the removal of paywalls and restrictive licencing are not the only issues that need to be tackled; unnecessary delays to publication, irreproducible findings, publication biases, and poor access to underlying data and code also need to be addressed. This is especially important in agriculture and nutrition research where quick, unrestricted access to knowledge is crucial to solving urgent issues including food security, biodiversity conservation, and emerging infectious diseases in crops and animals. This webinar will cover how the novel approaches taken by the publication venue Open Knowledge in Agricultural Development (OKAD) and the publishing platform it is hosted on, F1000Research, are addressing these issues. OKAD publishes academic articles, posters and slide presentations involving open knowledge projects within all areas of agriculture, nutrition and agro-biodiversity. By using F1000Research’s post-publication peer review platform, OKAD ensures rapid access to research within days of submission. Experts are invited to peer review upon publication, and their signed peer review reports are published alongside the article. All articles and any associated data and code are made publically available.

Publishing skos concept schemes with skosmos

AIMS (Agricultural Information Management Standards)

With more and more thesauri, classifications and other knowledge organization systems being published as Linked Data using SKOS, the question arises how best to make them available on the web. While just publishing the Linked Data triples is possible using a number of RDF publishing tools, those tools are not very well suited for SKOS data, because they cannot support term-based searching and lookup. This webinar presents Skosmos, an open source web-based SKOS vocabulary browser that uses a SPARQL endpoint as its backend. It can be used by e.g. libraries and archives as a publishing platform for controlled vocabularies such as thesauri, lightweight ontologies, classifications and authority files. The Finnish national thesaurus and ontology service Finto, operated by the National Library of Finland, is built using Skosmos. Skosmos provides a multilingual user interface for browsing and searching the data and for visualizing concept hierarchies. The user interface has been developed by analyzing the results of repeated usability tests. All of the SKOS data is made available as Linked Data. A developer-friendly REST API is also available providing access for using vocabularies in other applications such as annotation systems. We will describe what kind of infrastructure is necessary for Skosmos and how to set it up for your own SKOS data. We will also present examples where Skosmos is being used around the world.
