Description
The Open Data Framework (ODF) is a program that aims to build frameworks to create neutral and secure data repositories and cooperatives where producers, universities, and nonprofit entities can store and share data to foster agricultural innovation and support technological progress. The program prioritizes frameworks that address farm and ranch profitability, new markets and uses for agricultural products, invasive species, soil health, and improving human health through precision nutrient and food quality.
Key aspects of the program include:
• Developing a framework to create a neutral and secure data repository and cooperative
• Fostering agricultural innovation and supporting technological progress
• Addressing farm and ranch profitability, new markets, and uses for agricultural products
• Improving human health through precision nutrient and food quality
• Ensuring widespread participation and responsible use of the framework
• Providing detailed information on data transfer speed and co-location needs
• Outlining principles and examples of specific mechanisms for integration with current and future tool development, cyberinfrastructure facilities, and programs
