populations, and scarcity of water and energy is a big challenge. The standard is one
of the keys to ensure its sustainability.
With a focus on information technology, the types of standard that apply to
agricultural activities are mainly on data content or encoding, metadata, and data
services.
5.4.1 Data Content or Encoding Standard
Data content or encoding standard are used to represent or encode the elements of
agricultural data about crops, soils, water, weather, markets, energy, and
biotechnology.
For geolocation information about these types of agricultural data, there are some
public standards that are applicable for representing geospatial data, such as the
Geography Markup Language (GML). The GML is an XML grammar written in
XML Schema for the description of application schemas as well as the transport and
storage of geographic information. The key concepts used by the Geography
Markup Language (GML) to model the world are drawn from the ISO 19100 series
of international standards and the OpenGIS Abstract Specification. A feature is an
abstraction of thee real-world phenomena (ISO 19101); it is a geographic feature if it
is associated with a location relative to the Earth. In GML, Point, AbstractCurve,
LineString, Curve, AbstractSurface, Polygon, Surface, AbstractSolid, Solid,
MultiPoint, MultiCurve, MultiSurface, MultiSolid, and MultiGeometry are the
major geospatial features. They could be leveraged to model the geolocation information of the agricultural data, for example, using GML Point to model each corner
of the field or using GML Polygon to model the boundary of the field. Below is an
example describing a farm where the latitude and longitude coordinates of each of
the four corner points are represented using a GML Polygon element.
Proud Food Farm is located in Silver Spring,
Maryland.
We grow and sell a wide variety of vegetables,
berries, herbs, raw honey, fresh eggs & beneficial flowers. Everything is
organically-grown and sold on-site, ensures that you know what you are
eating and can see where it comes from. We also have made it our goal to be
affordable and our prices compete with organic vegetables sold at the
grocery store...but, much fresher and tastier. Heirloom vegetables,
unique varieties, and free cutflowers with every purchase above $10. gml:description>
