agINFRA in a few sentences• Based on a linked open data architecture
harmonizing semantics and ontologies.• Aggregating data of existing systems and taking
advantage of advanced Grid & Cloud services and infrastructure.
• Devised for scalability and maximum interoperability by adapting existing widely used components.
• Fostering diverse communities of heterogeneous providers and users.
• Providing researcher-centric services.

Why agINFRA?

Why sharing data? (1/2)
• Sharing research data is “an intrincate and difficult problem” (Borgman, 2011, JASIST)
• Not much data sharing may be taking place - with exceptions in some domains.
• Sharing takes different forms, from private data exchange to posting on-line, and including journal supplementary materials.
• There are few standards for giving shared data the required computational semantics to build automated tools.

Why sharing data? (2/2)
• … however reusing data is at the core of the principles of the scientific method.
• … and a major concern for scientists and policy makers.

Agricultural research (+) content• publications, theses, reports, other grey literature• educational material and content, courseware• primary data, such as measurements & observationso Structured (e.g. datasets as tables) / digitized (e.g. images)
• secondary data, such as processed elaborationso e.g. dendrograms, pie charts
• provenance information, incl. authors, their organizations and projects
• experimental protocols & methods• social data, tags, ratings, etc.

Why a data infrastructure?• Enable relating data and combining and contrasting
them in novel ways.• Enable scalable processing on research data.• Provide easy to adopt and deploy services.• Support a data-centric, integrated view of research.• Give a coherent support to a variety of research objects
(Bechhofer et al., 2010).
