Seven years into in, the ADAPT project, the platform toolkit is widely used throughout the world for managing and translating field operations data worldwide.
A lot has changed in seven years, howeversince 2014. For example:
Available data sources are growing beyond logged yield, planting and application data.
The prevalence of cloud computing and its effects: the rise of Linux usage in commercial settings and the standardization of service oriented, language independent APIs.
Against this backdrop, ADAPT’s initial focus as an offline Windows/C# toolkit for translating proprietary machine data into a common format needs a refresh. Industry contributors have already started expanding on ADAPT, but there is still a lot to domuch to do.
An idea that is gathering momentum is to make a new, platform-independent version of the data model and publish that as a standard, as well as create a community-supported plug-in that allows serializing ADAPT data to a platform-agnostic format.
Join us for a discussion (“meetup”) of the state of agriculture data todaydigital agriculture, ADAPT’s role within it, where ADAPT needs work, and how we can work together to continue building on the platform.lay out a roadmap for its future.
