D1.1.2Gap exploration report (1: general; 2: per thematic topics)

Per thematic topic? Yes.

Expert advise is needed on standards that do not exist

D1.2.1Recommendations for filling identified gaps (1: general; 2: per thematic topics)

Not decided how to go about it (Big role ODI). Easy bit usability / openness, difficult part fitness/adoption

D1.2.2Specifications for standard interoperability services

“For instance, if we recommend to expose vocabularies via web services, we may see if there are tools already available or if we want to create a generic platform that provides web services on top of SKOS or OWL or RDFS files…

D1.3.1Data publication online help desk

“Data publication online help desk, the idea is to develop an online helpdesk along with a customized version of our data publication platform, namely AKSTEM, which will be able to support any interested data provider to register its datasets. The datasets will automatically be transferred along with rich metadata to CIARD RING and there will be also the functionality the dataset that is being registered to point to the standard(s) that uses from the online map of standards (http://vest.agrisemantics.org/) ”

D1.4.1Standard interoperability services for pilot interventions

“Al we know is that we will have to “demonstrate” the usefulness of work in WP1 in a few pilot interventions: these could be driven by the thematic topics or even as you say by what happens in WP2 and WP3.”

Number of standards documented and discoverable through a global online map of standards

Output Indicator 3.2

Number of standardization guidelines and interoperability specifications for the improvement of standards

Output Indicator 3.3

Increased use of standards in general and in pilot interventions in particular

Observation: Number of standards and guidelines measures amongst other thngs how confused the issue is

Personal remark: work on standards is creating an infrastructure. An infrastructure is more visible if it does not work
