relevant topics & possible opportunities
Nikos ManouselisAgro-Know Technologies

V1, 30/10/13
in this meeting
• we will focus on selected Topics from two (2) Work Programmes– European Research Infrastructures (from Excellence
Science)– Information & Communication Technologies (from
LEIT)
• they will serve as the pool from which we will chose Challenges to work with
• this talk: to give you a very brief intro to the selected Topics [not to discuss, just to inform]
• Deadline: September 2nd, 2014• design study for an e-infrastructure on food science(s)?
– leading to a more permanent ESFRI structure (legal entity etc)
• several ESFRI e-infrastructures on plant science, forestry, etc– not sure if a food science proposal has been tried in the past– would be very relevant as a topic to other INFRA challenges as well
(could mean that someone is already working on it)
• could be an interesting next step for the sustainability of agINFRA – if not subsumed by LifeWatch– if not continued as a Community data service proposal (not in this
WP version though!)
reflection & thoughts
• Deadline: September 2nd, 2014• topic (a) seems like potentially relevant• I assume that only one project will be selected: big
players will come out to play (EUDAT etc.)• interesting, if we can convince that agriculture can be
one of the targeted communities• build on legacy of agINFRA
reflection & thoughts
• Deadline: April 15th, 2014• only one project will be selected: big players will come
out to play (OpenAIRE etc.)• interesting, if we can convince that agriculture is one of
the core themes (where principal thematic repositories participate)
• build on legacy of agINFRA, VOA3R and AGRIS that created a thematic network of repositories
reflection & thoughts
• Deadline: September 2nd, 2014• interesting to link agINFRA with relevant infrastructures
in USA, Canada, Russia, Australia, New Zealand– are there such infrastructures in these regions?– do we know contact people there?– who should lead such a CSA?
reflection & thoughts
• Deadline: January 1st, 2015• very relevant to
– Research Data Management interests– Capacity Building activities of all key stakeholders & relevant training
programmes
• possibly only one small project of 2M to be funded• needs good representation of key partners
– plus a number of thematic pilots (such as agriculture)
• partnerships, communities and core curricula may be developed earlier than 2015– e.g. in agINFRA & SemaGrow we will develop pilot curricula and training– e.g. UAH could pilot an online course
reflection & thoughts
• Deadline: April 23rd, 2014• Explore if thematic projects (or themes into projects) can
be proposed• Aim at a CSA that will help the creation and networking
of start ups on agricultural data-powered apps/tech– link them to all the stakeholders of the agriculture/food value
chain– help them understand challenges of the industries– connect them to potential customers
reflection & thoughts
• Deadline: April 23rd, 2014• Collaborative projects in (a)
– propose a pan-European open agriculture data incubator
• based on pilot activities of agINFRA & Agro-Know
• CSA for (b)– serve as a concrete agricultural and/or educational
case study for the Big Data Aggregator Integrator
reflection & thoughts
• Deadline: January 20th, 2015• interesting industry-focused campaigns & challenges
– to run pilot ones within agINFRA to serve as demonstrators
• to link to real, current societal challenges that can be backed up with open data
• see examples such as the Big Data Hackathon of London– http://bigdatahackathon.azurewebsites.net– take advantage of Agro-Know & Data Science London
collaboration
reflection & thoughts
• Deadline: April 23rd, 2014• Focus particularly in pan-European & multilingual online
services– textual data aggregators like GLN, AGRIS, …– online services like Organic.Edunet, openAGRIS, Org.ePrints, …
• Build on lessons learnt from Organic.Lingua PSP pilot– Especially recommendations during & after reviews– Use good language technology partners like CELI
reflection & thoughts
• OurFood proposal?– based on agINFRA practices & guidelines– using simpler & more modern infrastructure and technology
• Will be in 2015– but is the main call/topic under which our agricultural data
interoperability efforts may be aligned
• paving the way towards an agricultural research e-infrastructure (ERIC)?– http://ec.europa.eu/research/infrastructures/index_en.cfm
