Session 1
Stuart Rhea, Hiroyuki Morita, Daoud Urdu, RackWoo Kim, Roberto Garcia, Cale Boriack, Ben Craker, Mandar Godge
Review original goal based on SAG recommendation 3.4.3
Review and validate use cases
Identify gaps in AgGateway model and refine acordingly
Look for regional/international/industry controlled vocabularies that could be applicable
Consider technical requirements for industry wide semantic resource to house and administer the vocabularies
Have not really discussed this point much to-date
Goal to have this done and report at the Berlin plenary in March
Propose NWIP at the meeting with “Form 4”
Most important parts for group to review are:
Scope
Purpose/Justification
Plan to start today and formally submit 2 weeks before plenary so there is a chance for the broader TC to review and have an informed discussion at the plenary
Review existing work
There are a lot of contexts for use of the term crop, making automation of some processes difficult
e.g. how to automate what products are available to use for a particular crop in a field
How and why something is being group is different than what is being grown but all related
Crop refinement types
The types will likely be an emergent property of encoding crops this way
e.g. color, harness, growing season (hard/soft, red/white, spring/winter wheat)
Have some experiences with these types of refinements, but are done in a specific context so (modeling) decisions are able to be made
There are often “traps” that render these types of structures unreliable, or difficult to use
The general concept seems to be sound, but need to get into specifics outside the simple wheat examples
Support for using existing standards or conto9rlled vocabularies
e.g. EPPO is a good resource even if there are occasional gaps, and they are open to adding to the list and have a friendly license (now)
Recap existing use cases, still have some gaps for processors, CPG end of the chain
Any other uses cases that highlight the need for the crop definitions for the purpose on form 4
(EU) Environmental reporting, connection of agricultural databases to food databases
Agree there is likely something there but need a subject matter expert to help out
Need examples on how generality/specificity of crop definition creates issues
In international trade pallets of fruits for example need to have some sort of identifier
Does anyone care what specific variety of fruit is in the pallet?
Daoud will make a first draft of a use case in this area
- Homework is to write something on the Scope, purpose/justification and email it to Stuart
Stuart will combine and send out to get through at least one edit cycle prior to submitting to TC
