Tom Morris and Nicolas Tremblay thank everyone for attending the first meeting of the OFDS community. Many great ideas were provided and discussed. We will keep you informed about activities of the community by email. If you have suggestions, comments or ideas to share, please email us.
- Attendance. 19 people attended. A list of attendees is below with their organizations and email addresses.
- Introductions. The attendees are from a wide geographic area: the US to the UK, Canada, Germany, Israel, and Australia. The expertise of the attendees is also quite diverse: statistician to agronomist, database expert, engineering, precision ag, and more. Commonality is in the desire to improve food production by sharing data.
- Discussion about activities to keep momentum.
- Should consider participating in the European Conference on Precision Ag in Edinburgh, Scotland 16-20 July 2017. Information at: http://www.ecpa2017.com/.
- Should have a long-range plan to train practitioners about on-farm research designs and guidelines for sharing data.
- Should find existing standards for data reporting, sharing and archiving such as the geospatial data standards.
- Should seek out other organizations with mission to increase sharing of data such as the Ag Data Coalition to learn what information is available to help create guidelines for sharing of on-farm research data.
- Should maintain connection with data stewardship committee at ASA/SSSA/CSSA.
- Update on United Soybean Board proposal. Peter Kyveryga reported that the proposal was rejected. One proposal was funded out of five submissions. Proposal idea did not fit the current mission of USB grant funding.
- Update on article for CSA News. Ignacio Ciampitti reported that article entitled “Risks and Benefits to Data Sharing” by T. Morris and I. Ciampitti will be published in the Early Career Members section of this month’s CSA News. CSA News is the magazine for members of the American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America.
6.NEXT MEETING. Will be held at the ASA/SSSA/CSSA national meetings in Phoenix. Date and time to be announced.
- Adjourn at 8:45 pm.
