Diversity of data types and
data sources
Diversity of geographic and
temporal scales
Diversity of quality of records
Diversity of data owners, and
data managers
In reality, a big mess

What databases contain what I
need?
What information are available in
these databases?
What are their collection and
reporting methodologies?
How do we link these databases?

FAIR principles vs. reality
Time consumming principles
It is not quick nor cheap
● Data curating and integration need time,
hardly available during outbreak response
● Benchmarking and reliability testing
● Confidentiality and data sharing
agreements for each individual dataset
(lawyer-time dependencies)

Future proofing
Data change in time
● Changes in the livestock industry
● Changes in the monitoring and reporting
methodologies
● Changes due to learning the data,
identifying gaps and creation of new data

Confidentiality
Open Access vs. Not-so-open Access
● How to integrate data of various
confidentiality status but still being usable
to most modeller?
● Validity and reapetability of
science/research outputs
● Pro/con of synthetics datasets

Cost and benefit in investment
● Greatly facilitate communication and
ownership in data collection
● Computing speed in some case
● Sustainability of infrastructure
● Server(s) location and legal
environment
● Interoperability of currently developed
models to the cloud environment
● Internet access and bandwidth
