AgroPortal: a proposition for ontology-based services in the agronomic domain
Our project is to develop and support a reference ontology repository for the agronomic domain. By reusing the NCBO BioPortal technology, we have already designed and implemented a prototype ontology repository for plants and a few crops. We plan to turn that prototype into a real service to the community. The AgroPortal project aims at reusing the scientific outcomes and experience of the biomedical domain in the context of plant, agronomic and environment sciences.
GnpIS-Ephesis, the phenotypic data integration platform for INRA networks experimental data – data discovery and dataset building use cases
Phenotype data are collected in trials conducted by experimental facilities including multilocal field networks and high throughput phenotyping facilities in controlled environments or fields. A given germplasm panel can therefore have been phenotyped in very different conditions and using very different protocols. As a result, a collection of phenotype datasets is usually highly heterogeneous and hard to integrate.
Measures for interoperability of phenotypic data: minimum information requirements and formatting
Plant phenotypic data shrouds a wealth of information which, when accurately analysed and linked to other data types, brings to light the knowledge about the mechanisms of life. As phenotyping is a field of research comprising manifold, diverse and time-consuming experiments, the findings can be fostered by reusing and combining existing datasets. Their correct interpretation, and thus replicability, comparability and interoperability, is possible provided that the collected observations are equipped with an adequate set of metadata.
Reusing the NCBO BioPortal technology for agronomy to build AgroPortal
Many vocabularies and ontologies are produced to represent and annotate agronomic data. By reusing the NCBO BioPortal technology, we have already designed and implemented an advanced prototype ontology repository for the agronomy domain. We plan to turn that prototype into a real service to the community. The AgroPortal project aims at reusing the scientific outcomes and experience of the biomedical domain in the context of plant, agronomic, food, environment (perhaps animal) sciences.
