Data, Information & Knowledge Sources in the Agricultural Domain

We try to make a first step towards merging sources in the agricultural domain with experts and methods from the IT sector. The result should help people in this domain to profit from a better and more productive way of using existing experiences by sharing and making them easier accessible. After a short definition of several knowledge-related terms we present existing and possibly useful standards for sources in the agricultural domain. Based on the standards, we give a short overview on existing sources and present a way for automated extraction of information and knowledge from selected sources. Finally we show the usage of some sources, which are implemented in our current research work.
