Development of Knowledge Sharing System for Agriculture Application

In this research, we construct a data sharing system for agriculture technology. The purpose of our research is to establish the methodology in order to share and inherit knowledge about agriculture. Our system collects data by two methods. One is automatic acquisition of the environment information by a sensor, and another is record of the work information by a farmer. In this paper, a skillful farmer's knowledge is modeled as XML data. According to the data schema designed on the data model, the knowledge sharing system is implemented. This paper gives the outline of the structure of the system, and reported the result of the experience for collecting and accumulating and the design of a data sharing system are performed.
