Collaborative project: Standardization of the GeoBox infrastructure - Phase 1: Decentralized data management and regional networking - subproject 3 (GEOBOX-I)

Project


Project code: 28RZ5056
Contract period: 15.10.2018 - 31.12.2020
Budget: 179,781 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development
Keywords: knowledge transfer, networking

The objective of the project GeoBox-I is the experimental development, testing and dissemination of a practicable prototype of a standardized and resilient GeoBox infrastructure for decentralized data storage and regional networking. This includes (1) providing data structures and vocabularies for exchange-relevant information which are easy to understand in a suitable web portal as a public service to the industry; (2) the GeoBox specification as a corporate data hub with a cache for a variety of relevant information, under the sole control of the particular farm; (3) the provision of key geospatial and technical data for farms with decentralized storage in farms; (4) the realization of communication protocols and form assistants for standardized data exchange with third parties; (5) the design of exemplary services that extract directly useful advice to farmers from the standardized data available; and (6) the implementation of all essential functions in the form of disclosed reference implementations of exemplary applications. These are focused on sovereign information and advice in the field of crop protection and transferred to the practice in the context of education and training on the topic of resilient smart farming. The 5 packages of the work plan include 1) design and specification of the system concept and the overall architecture, 2) the realization of the infrastructure level with GeoBox server with dynamic vocabulary services (including provision of vocabulary and appropriate change management), 3) the reference implementation of a 'HofBox' as decentralized knowledge store and node for internal and external data communication (operational level of resilient communication capability), 4) the realization of exemplary apps for communication, service and consulting assistance to agricultural applications in the field (examples of service level), finally 5) the support of roll-out and practical introduction by training and further education, training courses, cooperations with model companies, comparison with other federal states and establishment of a project-accompanying advisory board from associations, industry and users. KTBL provides the necessary vocabularies. This includes analysing and linking with existing vocabularies, filling gaps and developing procedures and tools for maintenance and provision.
