ECPGR ECPGR (AEGIS, ECCDB, EURISCO)(AEGIS, ECCDB, EURISCO)
A European Genebank Integrated System (AEGIS)
Sharing of responsibilities (Most Appropriate Accession; common agreed quality standards for ex situ conservation).
Conservation of the genetically unique and important accessions for Europe and making them available for breeding and research.
Four model crops: Allium, Avena, Brassica and Prunus species.
Membership in AEGIS is open to all European countries (ECPGR).
EURISCO and the Central Crop Databases play a key role in the information management.

The GCP Mission: The GCP Mission: To use advanced genomics science and plant genetic diversity to overcome complex agricultural bottlenecks that condemn millions of the world’s neediest people to a future of poverty and hunger.
The GCP Vision: The GCP Vision: A future where plant breeders have the tools to breed crops in marginal environments with greater efficiency and accuracy for the benefit of the resource-poor farmers and their families.

The Nordic Genetic Resource Center (NordGen) was established in January 2008.
NordGen replaces the former institute Nordic Gene Bank (NGB) established in 1979.
NordGen is the joint regional genetic resource center for all the 5 Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
The NordGen reports to the Nordic Council of Ministers [http://www.norden.org].
The mandate of the NordGen is conservation and utilization of Nordic Genetic Resources.

Crop DescriptorsCrop Descriptors
The crop descriptor lists from Bioversity International provide global standards for characterization and evaluation data on crop genetic resources.
The MCPD (Multi Crop Passport Descriptor List) provides a global standard for "passport data" across the crops.
The MCPD descriptor list is compatible with the TDWG standard: ABCD 2.06.

W3C :: RDFW3C :: RDF
Resource Description Framework Scenario: You have a dataset of genebank accessions with pointers
to the source datasets of the holding genebanks. You produce phenotypic evaluation data on accessions in this dataset. You find evaluation data from other sources on some of the accessions in your dataset. Some of the evaluation data are produced in areas of different day length, rainfall, soils… Some of the accessions in your dataset originate from areas of higher population densities other accessions originate from more natural habitats. Unfortunately most of the different sources of information is located on different web sites and it is difficult to bring the information together.
You would need to go through more or less the same process as other researchers in many domains of gathering heterogeneous data from multiple sources, combining and analysing it. This is the challenge that faces the web as a whole and is being addressed by the Semantic Web project.
RDFs can assist you to relate information from different sources.
A RDF triplet looks like this: subject-predicate-object

Life Science IDentifiers
LSID is a digital name tag. LSIDs are GUIDs, Global Unique Identifiers.
[http://lsid.sourceforge.net/]
Structure urn:lsid:authority:namespace:object:revision Example (fictive) urn:lsid:eurisco.org:accession:H451269
The LSID concept introduces a straightforward approach to naming and identifying data resources stored in multiple, distributed data stores.
LSID defines a simple, common way to identify and access biologically significant data
LSID provides a naming standard to support interoperability. Developed by OMG-LSR and W3C, implemented by IBM.

We have recently built data indexing tools for access to gene bank datasets provided with the BioCASE/PyWrapper.
This is planned to build a Global Accession Level Information System (ALIS).
In cooperation with GBIF, which themselves index basic biodiversity data from a similar approach.
