This Agrisemantics (previously called VEST-AgroPortal) Map of Data Standards provides a global map of existing vocabularies for the exchange of data in the field of food and agriculture. The directory is the result of the merging of records from two different sources: the VEST Registry (a registry of vocabularies of all types and all formats) and the AgroPortal (a repository of ontologies).

The Agronomy Field Information Management System (AgroFIMS) has been developed on CGIAR’s HiDAP (Highly-interactive Data Analysis Platform created by CGIAR’s International Potato Center, CIP). AgroFIMS draws fully on ontologies, particularly the Agronomy Ontology and the Crop Ontology. It consists of modules that represent the typical cycle of operations in agronomic trial management, and enables the creation of data collection sheets using the same ontology-based set of variables, terminology, units and protocols.

MIAPPE is an open, community driven project to harmonize data from plant phenotyping experiments. MIAPPE comprises both a conceptual checklist of metadata required to adequately describe a plant phenotyping experiment, and software to validate, store and disseminate MIAPPE-compliant data. We welcome contributions from anyone interested in plant phenotyping data.

The Planteome Project is a centralized platform where reference ontologies for plants will be used to access plant genomics data.

Crop Ontology is a service of the Integrated Breeding Platform, and targets agricultural data annotation. The project is led by Bioversity International in collaboration with the CGIAR and other partners. Crop Ontology centralizes concepts defined by breeders to annotate their data egarding germplasm, phenotypes, trial location, environment and design, plant anatomy, and plant development.
