Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition initiative (GODAN)
The GODAN initiative was one of the outputs of the G8 International Conference on Open Data for Agriculture and was announced at the Open Government Partnership Conference in October 2013.
The initiative focuses on building high-level support among governments, policymakers, international organizations and business.
Currently around 500 partners worldwide from national governments, non-governmental, international and private sector organizations.
GODAN’s facilitation of work on semantics
Partnership with Research Data Alliance
> Interest Group on Agricultural Data (IGAD)
>> WGs on Wheat Data, Rice Data, “AgriSemantics”
DFID GODAN funding stream >> GODAN Action project
>> Global map of data standards for food and agriculture
>> Gap analysis on availability and adoption of standards

What types of data standards
• All formalizations of ways to describe, model, identify and link data.
• What in W3C terms is defined as “vocabularies”*
* https://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/XGR-lld-vocabdataset-20111025/

Element sets / Description vocabularies “Value” vocabularies
Purpose of the global map of data standards
• The main purpose of a global map of data standards in a specific field is to promote the discovery and reuse of vocabularies and their properties, classes and controlled values. The reuse of existing vocabularies promotes greater interoperability between vocabularies and datasets.paraphrasing what the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative says about their DCMI Registry (http://dcmi.kc.tsukuba.ac.jp/dcregistry/ )
• Help identify overlaps, duplication, gaps and limits to adoption, >> encourages not to duplicate efforts and to collaborate to both develop and use common standards

Call to action
IfYou are the owner / manager of a data standard / vocabulary
relevant for food and agriculture-related dataYou know of any data standard / vocabulary relevant for food and
agriculture-related data that is not currently in the map
HELP US improve the maphttp://vest.agrisemantics.org
Add new standards that are not in the map yet “Claim” a standard that is there and improve its description Give us feedback on the metadata and categorizations we use
