IoT Open hardware/software High quality observation data Reusable architecture Interoperable data management Community of Practice (DiY) Aligned with two EU Directives INSPIRE Air Quality Directive Precision farming already includes the ‘smart’ application of fertilizers due to tractor localization, soil data, bio-chemical knowledge, etc. Data is owned by the farmer Data is not used for EU-wide monitoring However, monitoring of 9 tractors and 23 application machines for one farm of a size around 1'300 hectares generates 10 MB of data a day. Monitoring of any medium sized agricultural company would scale up to several 3 GB of monitoring data each day. What are appropriate methods and tools to use such data? Tracking in near-realtime Reusable data Easy data integration/mashup Cross-border Cross-domain Based on standards Apps for farmers (smartphone & web)
