The team created a solution to promote farms that sell directly to customers by mapping their locations and details. They developed an application and map displaying farm information sourced from an online spreadsheet. Partners from several countries contributed farm data. The goal was to help small farmers and shorten supply chains using open data standards. They plan to continue expanding the dataset and enhancing the application.

3. SUPPORTING PROJECTS
• WirelessInfo, as one of the partners of the Short
supply chain knowledge and innovation network
project (SKIN) (www.shortfoodchain.eu), has
completed first testing data from the Czech
Republic - 18 farms that sell products from the farm
yard or have some added value – and asked other
partners to join.
INSPIRE Conference, Kehl, 5th Sept 2017

4. PROJECT IDEA
The goal of solution was to use SPOI database -
Smart POI data set (http://sdi4apps.eu/spoi) for
promoting selling from the farm. The goal is to select
relevant data in SPOI database and add also
additional information from other available
databases of primary producers offering their
product from the farm.
There was expectation of two different Apps:
• Find your producer
• Publish my information
INSPIRE Conference, Kehl, 5th Sept 2017

5. INPUT DATA
• A database was created in the form of an excel
spreadsheet where partners could add data – farm
name, coordinates, description, contacts, products
and other activities. The table for filling in the data
is at the following address:

6. USED SOFTWARE/TOOLS
• Using principle of the SPOI
(http://sdi4apps.eu/spoi) a sample application was
created by West Bohemian University in the form
of a map where the data inserted into a table is
visualized on the map.

9. NEW DATASETS
• We extended current SPOI database
(http://sdi4apps.eu/spoi), data will be available as
part of this database.
• They will be included into existing database and are
available as RDF data
INSPIRE Conference, Kehl, 5th Sept 2017

10. NEW SOFTWARE/TOOL
• New viewer was generated using previous solution
for SPOI http://gis.zcu.cz/spoi/viz/farmy/index.html
INSPIRE Conference, Kehl, 5th Sept 2017

11. INSPIRE/GEOSS/COPERNICUS/
RELEVANCE
• We tested possibilities to use RDF specification
• We are using Open Maps
(http://openstreetmap.org) for visualization
• These data are integrating different registries
INSPIRE Conference, Kehl, 5th Sept 2017

12. ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIETAL AND
ECONOMICAL CHALLENGES
Project:
• Is focused on improving solution of small farmers
• Supports shortage of supply chain
• Supports sustainable agriculture
• Supports employment in rural regions
INSPIRE Conference, Kehl, 5th Sept 2017

13. REUSE
• Solution will be a part of SKIN project outputs
(http://shortfoodchain.eu)
• We plan re-use results also for DataBio project
(http://databio.eu)
• We are planning to extended data around Europe
and also outside of Europe
INSPIRE Conference, Kehl, 5th Sept 2017

14. BUSINESS
• Yes, we would like to offer this application later as
the solution supporting regional agencies, MAS –
LAG (Local Action Groups), etc.
• Anybody who is able supporting us with data
• Yes, we would like help with marketing and next
development
INSPIRE Conference, Kehl, 5th Sept 2017

15. FOLLOW-UP
• We are planning to carry on our activities, so we
would like to invite other partners to join our team
and add more farm data.
• Another upcoming Hackathon will held in Pilsen, in
the Czech Republic, on October 2-3, 2017, where
we are going to introduce an enhanced version of
this app with additional features.
