| Popis: | The Wheat Initiative (WI) (www.wheatinitiative.org) aims to reinforce synergies between bread and durum wheat international research programs to increase food security, nutritional value and safety, taking into account societal demands for sustainable and resilient agricultural production systems. In 2012, the WI conducted a survey highlighting the wide diversity of wheat-related data formats and the lack of standardization. Research on wheat can and must make optimum use of currently available data to feed the growing global population. Increased computing power allows for more sophisticated analyses with ‘mega databases”. The Wheat Data Interoperability (WDI) working group, within the umbrella of the WI, was endorsed by the Research Data Alliance (RDA) in 2014. The 15 active members include wheat scientists, data and metadata technologists from national and international organizations: CIMMYT, CSIRO, INRA, FAO, IRD, Bioversity, ACPFG, Planteome, Agro-Know. The WDI aims at building common framework to foster the reuse and interoperability of wheat data. The WDI use the EIF definition: An interoperability framework is an agreed approach to interoperability for organizations that wish to work together towards the joint delivery of public services. Within its scope of applicability, it specifies a set of common elements such as vocabulary, concepts, principles, policies, guidelines, recommendations, standards, specifications and practices. The deliverables include: recommendations on data exchange formats; data description best practices (consistent use of vocabularies, consistent use of external database cross references, etc.); and data sharing best practices. The WDI portal gathers wheat-related vocabularies and ontologies and makes them accessible through APIs. The expected benefits are: bioinformaticians and data managers who will find relevant information on existing data and metadata standards, avoiding duplicating efforts; and integrated wheat information systems using computation and modelling tool designers who will be able to easily discover access, interpret, aggregate, and analyze data from different sources. |
