Case statement: Wheat Data Interoperability Working Group
From the post:
The draft case statement for the Wheat Data Interoperability Working Group has been released.
The Wheat data interoperability WG is a working group of the RDA Agricultural data interest group. The working group will take advantage of other RDA’s working group’s production. In particular, the working group will be watchful of working groups concerned with metadata, data harmonization and data publishing.
The working group will also interact with the WheatIS experts and other plant projects such as TransPLANT, agINFRA which are built on standard technologies for data exchange and representation. The Wheat data interoperability group will exploit existing collaboration mechanisms like CIARD to get as much as possible stakeholder involvement in the work.
If you want to contribute with comments, do not hesitate to contact the Wheat Data Interoperability Working Group at Working group “Wheat data interoperability”.

I know, agricultural interoperability doesn’t have the snap of universal suffrage, the crackle of a technological singularity or the pop of first contact.
On the other hand, with a world population estimated at 7.108 billion people, agriculture is an essential activity.
The specifics of wheat data interoperability should narrow down to meaningful requirements. Requirements with measures of success or failure.
Unlike measuring progress towards or away from less precise goals.
