The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) announced the formation of the OGC Agriculture Information Model Standards Working Group (AIM SWG). The AIM SWG aims to develop, publish, and maintain an Agriculture Information Model (AIM) to support information interoperability in the Agriculture Domain, emphasizing the re-use of generic OGC standards as appropriate.
AIM will provide a common language for agriculture applications to harmonize and improve data and metadata exchange. It will define the required data elements, including concepts, properties, and relationships relevant to agriculture applications and their associated semantics/meaning for information exchange.
AIM will be a multi-tier and modular domain model that aligns, profiles, and/or extends well-known agriculture-related and generic ontologies, including those published by OGC. It will be published as human and implementation-ready machine-actionable resources. Machine-actionable resources include the canonical ontology representation of the AIM in the Web Ontology Language (OWL) and other related artifacts to support implementation.
The SWG will develop implementations of the AIM model compatible with OGC APIs. In line with OGC policies and FAIR principles, the AIM will be published using persistent and resolvable URI identifiers, consistent with OGC Naming Authority processes for publishing semantic resources.
