Abstract: AgGateway is a global nonprofit industry association with a membership of approximately 200 companies. The purpose of AgGateway is to enable digital agriculture by promoting the implementation of data exchange standards, both in supply chain and field operations domains. Examples of supply-chain standards include the Ag eStandards (for communication among manufacturers, distributors and retailers) and AgXML (for grain contracts, transport, settlements, weights and grades). Examples of standards implemented in the field operations space include ISO 11783 and ISO 19156.

Abstract: This presentation will focus on our approach to FAIRifying and publishing this data and the data management and cultural challenges this has raised. The presentation will conclude with future capacity development training in collaboration with the GLTEN and the University of Sokoine, Tanzania, to improve data management skills and access to data across the global long-term agricultural experiments community.

Abstract: The AgroPortal project, is a community effort started by the Montpellier scientific community (LIRMM, IRD, CIRAD, INRAE, Bioversity International) to build an ontology repository for agronomy and related domains. Our goal is to facilitate the adoption of metadata and semantics to facilitate open science and the production of FAIR data]. By enabling straightforward use of ontologies, we expect data managers and researchers to focus on their tasks, without requiring them to deal with the complex engineering work needed for ontology management.

Abstract: AGROVOC is edited through the web-based platform VocBench 3, an advanced collaboration environment for maintaining thesauri, ontologies, code lists and authority resources, providing features such as history, validation, a publication workflow, and multi-user management with role-based access control. Specialized concept schemes are now possible within AGROVOC. VocBench 3 supports the use of hierarchical relation properties that are specific to a scheme.
