FOWG Goals/Objectives

7

• Working Group Goals and Objectives
• Short term: Identify existing use case/needs and focus on a specific use case

(Seeding Example Selected June 2011 – Chartered SPADE project). Identify existing standards and gaps/needs.

• 2013 - Focus on Harvest use case SPADE 2
• Medium term: Reach consensus on standard needs and adopt existing

standard/propose additional changes to this standard or develop an AgGateway standard in order to meet the need.

• Long term: As needs of the industry evolve, continue to work as a group in
• rder to build upon the standard.
• Examples – Upcoming WG5 Standards for Operation/Tasks/Jobs and WG9 ISO DL.

Review and provide feedback to AEF.

• Carry all aspects of SPADE1 to implementation
• Expand focus to:
• Production reporting not covered in SPADE (harvest, crop protection,

fertilization, tillage)

• Creating infrastructure to deliver SPADE reference data
• Continue USDA Cooperation
• Revisit SPADE documents when they release their reporting schemas
• Seek resolution to CLU – Management field conflict
• “Open Source” data translation proof of concept

AgGateway Proposal

• All MICS manufacturers export and import ISO+AG format,
• Open Source component translates to-from ISO+AG format to ISO+AG FMIS data model

(TBD)

• Each FMIS manufacturer translates to-from ISO+AG FMIS data model to their

proprietary data model.

Translators from ISO+AG Data Model to Proprietary data models Transfer Documents (ISO+AG Compliant) Work Orders Plans Work Records

Open Source Repository

FMIS Data Model (ISO+AG Complint TBD)

Open Source Translator

Translator FMIS Company I Translator FMIS Company II Translator FMIS Company III Translator FMIS Company IV FMIS Company I FMIS Company II FMIS Company III FMIS Company IV

Proposal Value Proposition

• Easier for FMIS companies to integrate by handling complex
• peration,
• Creation and translation of binaries,
• Creation and interpretation of implement device configurations
• Grid types
• Promote adoption of the standard
• Version management
• Coordinate system conversion???
• Promote standard construction of complex device configurations
• TC-FMIS “Conformance” test

Deb Casurella (Independent Data Management)

GOAL

The Data Security, Privacy & Protection working group will define standards and guidelines for securing and protecting

• information. These guidelines will strive to prevent an error

in an unsupervised marketplace which could jeopardize the benefits gained by using data collected during field

• perations.

2013 IRG Working Group Goals

40

• Collaborate with USDA (e.g. FSA, RMA, NRCS) to create a

field identification approach for which sufficient details can be shared with the farmer’s service providers as a standard spatial reference to crop production areas, but does not expose a producer’s Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

• r other Private Information related to their participation

with USDA programs

• Spearhead a cross-Council initiative to capture Data Privacy

& Protection concerns from across AgGateway and the ag industry and then create project proposal to design AgGateway’s position and establish its leadership role

IRG Work Summary: To Date, 2013

• IRG Meetings
• 3/14/2013
• 4/30/2013
• Data Privacy & Ownership

WG

• “8 Week” USDA Conference

Calls with SPADE

• CLU Discussions and

Workshop

41

Common Land Unit Concepts

42

Concept Name Description Alternative Identifier Create Alternative ID for CLU (Farm/Tract/Field)

• r CLUID (36 char. Unique identifier) that can be

managed by a USDA “partner” (e.g. AgGateway) who is able to provide correlation services back to CLU’s with associated attributes containing PII USDA GUID The new GUID being utilized by USDA for MIDAS Spatial intersection Operational boundaries vs. reporting boundaries/area

Precision Ag Council Glossary

Dennis Daggett (ProAg) ddaggett@proag.com

AgGateway Glossary - Purpose

 The creation and maintenance of a “comprehensive

agriculture glossary” will be a coordination point for the multiple agriculture glossaries that exist by business segment

• today. This “comprehensive agriculture glossary” will…

Provide a solution for communication challenges that occur when

existing identical terms or phrases (term/terms) have different meanings and use.

 Establish awareness of a new term; and its context and definition. Establish a standard term and definition resource for AgGateway

Councils, Committees, and Projects to support e-Business communications and transactions.

Establish a standard term and definition resource for ag education and

businesses to promote effective and efficient communication and training.

44

AgGateway Glossary – Content

 Following is an outline of the current content of the

“comprehensive agriculture glossary” spreadsheet.

Term Control Category (CC No.) - defined in the glossary spreadsheet Category (C No.) – defined in the glossary spreadsheet Sub-Category (SC No.) - defined in the glossary spreadsheet Space Name – primary user of term Definition of Term Key Words Synonyms Related Terms Lexicon – International Source / Point of Origin – origin of definition and/or submitter/source of

definition

Control Council: AgGateway Council assigned to review / control

definition

45

AgGateway Glossary – Format

AgGateway will use Wiki or other easily editable format. The glossary must contain Search/Advanced Search capability. The glossary must have the capability of linking. It is recommended that the glossary have an audio recording of

the pronunciation of the term attached to each term.

46

AgGateway Glossary – Commitment

 AgGateway will:

Commit personnel and resources to the creation and maintenance of the

glossary.

Pursue collaboration with the USDA, ag groups and businesses,

academia, and standards organizations.

Post the approved terms glossary on the AgGateway wiki. Use the glossary in internal communications and Projects. Use the glossary to promote the execution of its mission to promote,

enable, and expand eBusiness in agriculture.
