TITLE

The importance of open data in the agri-food sector

ABSTRACT

Half of the European Union's land is farmed. This fact alone highlights the importance of farming for the EU's economy, employment, energy use and environment. The globalization of markets has increased the competitiveness whereas the consumers’ needs for healthy, safe and locally produced products highlighting the need for high quality production. According to Food Agriculture Organization (FAO) in the next 20 years world food production must increase by 50%, while 80% of that increase must come from intensification. However this vital and crucial sector for the European agriculture economy is a sector under pressure due to several challenges (world population, water shortage, climate change, use of pesticides and fertilizers, energy use, food safety). Agricultural production systems, and the policies and institutions that underpin global food security, are increasingly inadequate. Modern IT and data analysis tools are powerful and can really help meet the challenge of feeding a growing population in more resource-efficient and sustainable ways. Smart farming presents a viable solution to such problems. However, as smart machines, automation systems, robots and sensors crop up on farms and farm data grow in quantity and scope, farming processes will become increasingly data driven and data-enabled. Currently there are a lot of stakeholders involved in the data collection and management in agriculture (companies, organizations, public authorities, farmers). However the accessible on all these data is still questionable. In this context open data has become and should more widely used within the agricultural data environment. The context under which open data should be used and analyzed in agro-food sector is presented together with some so far success stories.

ABSTRACT

IRUS-UK (Institutional Repository Usage Statistics UK) is a service provided by Jisc. It collects raw usage data from UK Institutional Repositories (IRs) and processes these data into COUNTER-compliant statistics. This provides repositories with comparable, authoritative, standards-based data. IRUS-UK enables UK IRs to share and expose statistics based on the COUNTER standard. It provides a nation-wide view of UK repository usage to all, it offers opportunities for benchmarking, provides aggregate data to organisations such as Jisc and research funders and enables a single service to act as an intermediary between UK repositories and other agencies/initiatives, such as OpenAIRE.

Following a successful academic career, in 1992, Lyubomir Penev established the scientific publisher Pensoft, which has since gained a reputation for technological advancement and innovation. Having implemented open access for all Pensoft journals from the very start, in 2015, Penev, together with Daniel Mietchen and Ross Mounce, founded the award-winning Research Ideas and Outcomes (RIO), a journal with a mission to open up science by openly publishing the entire research cycle - ideas, proposals, methods, data, and other outcomes - in a comprehensive and transparent way.

Impact Data Services on the Cloud

ABSTRACT

Impact metrics have a strong influence on the scientific community, affecting the assessment of institutions of higher education and
research. In this situation, it is essential that the methods used to calculate metrics should be transparent, and reproducible and that their integrity should be auditable, and beyond question.

This workshop aims to provide an overview of the potential impact on the market. Open Access repositories, research data repositories, and publisher platforms are not standardized. But they are an important complement to other (traditional and alternative) bibliometric indicators to provide a comprehensive and recent view of the impact of scholarly resources. In particular, use data from non-traditional output types are available on the Internet. A key challenge is to achieve a similar, consistent, standards-based usage across different platforms Web resources or files and the use of resources among different repositories.

This workshop combines three thematic blocks:

• Motivations and outcomes from the European Commission Expert Group on Altmetrics report on "Next-generation metrics" report
• Current usage statistics initiatives (OpenAIRE, IRUS-UK): services standardization efforts
• Opportunity for an Impact Data Services Cloud (OpenUp)

The presentation builds on the results of the OpenUP landscape scan, and an analysis of how research results are measured today, the limitations of current approaches, and a proposed solution: a new platform for Open Metrics that gives users the information they need to understand and reproduce current metrics, to create and share their own metrics of research output and to take account of research outputs (e.g. data, code, laboratory equipment, animals, cell-lines, research protocols).
