MODUS Agronomic Testing Lab Transfer Standard
MODUS Project 2014
PRESENTERS….
• Dave Nerpel
• Agrian: Field Data Technology
Manager
• Aaron Hunt
• Agrian: VP of Precision Product
Management
WHY ARE WE HERE? Start at InfoAg 2013….
MODUS Project 2014
WHY ARE WE HERE?
• Present MODUS to the Industry
• Look for support in the ‘precision
agronomy’ community
• Fert / chem / seed dealers and
distributors, labs, CCAs, data users….
• Talk with possible Version 1.0 integrators
MODUS Project 2014
MODUS:
WHO, WHY, WHAT ?
• WHO: group of ag data folk
• WHY: better access / transferability of
ag lab testing data
• WHAT: (#1) standard terminology (#2)
transfer format
MODUS Project 2014

MODUS Project 2014
MODUS:
WHY ? • Capture and track sample meta data: sample
type, units, extraction method, sample depth
• Ease data export complexity for labs / data
import issues for FMIS operators
• Ease use of data in multiple systems
• Data roll-up across enterprises
MODUS Project 2014
MODUS:
WHAT ? • Standard list of terminology: Drs. Jason
Ellsworth and Bob Miller and ‘originator labs’
• XSD / XML data transfer standardization:
Aaron Hunt with help from ‘originator labs’
• Data to labs
• Data reported from labs to clients
MODUS Project 2014
WHAT IS AN XSD / XML ?
XSD (XML Schema Definition), a Recommendation of the
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), specifies how to for
mally describe the elements in an Extensible Markup La
nguage (XML) document. It can be used by programmers
to verify each piece of content in a document. They ca
n check it adheres to the description of the element
it is placed in.

HOW STANDARDS PROLIFERATE
HOW DO WE BREAK
THE INFINITE LOOP • Industry
Cooperation
• Open Dialog and
Communication
• Include all
Interested Parties
and Actors
MODUS Project 2014
MODUS
HIGH LEVEL OBJECTIVES
• Create constant / well documented field
sample data sets
• Create a constant reference database for
different aspects of field samples
• Unify lab submission / result format
MODUS Project 2014
WHAT MODUS IS NOT
TODAY
• Method of data communication and transfer
• Recommendation generation standard
• Internal lab standard procedures
• Quality control or certification for Labs
