2. Methodology

3. Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme - grant agreement No 730988
E-ROSA 3rd Workshop, Athens, May 2018
Based on synergies of different activities
e-ROSA activities : bibliometric analysis,
mapping, workshops
RDA activities : working groups
GODAN activities
Projects : Aginfra+, OpenMinted, WheatIS,
GODAN Action …
Global knowledge of the ecosystem linked to
FAO activities and other partners

Content :
 Organisations: the organisations (e.g. research performing
organisations, ministries, international organisations) within the e-
ROSA scope; “data producers”, “data experts” , “data policy”
 Initiatives: Projects, networks and other initiatives within the e-ROSA
scope
 Data points: all forms of data sources directly or indirectly providing
access to data in the field of agriculture and food ; answers the
question “how to get data?”
 Facilities: research infrastructures and e-infrastructures that provide
one or several types of data services (e.g. modeling infrastructures,
data management infrastructures, etc.); answers the question “what
can you do with data?”
Issue to define the data services

7. Some results

E-ROSA 3rd Workshop, Athens, May 2018
Main ideas
Massive data production in labs (sensors,
robots, models ….) but also in farms or by
citizens (of huge interest for science)
 Big data : more variety than volume
 space, time and scale issues
Data silos, poorly documented
Not easy to find, nor to access
Different level of maturity of the practices
about data (management, sharing, analysis)
