Interoperability and standardisation
13 August 2021
One of the key challenges towards the realization of smart farming solutions is related to the lack of interoperability between different systems and platforms in the agri-food sector, especially the ones offered by different technology providers. It is also a concern for farmers that the technology that they invest in will become outdated. DEMETER is addressing these needs for technical and semantical interoperability through the Agricultural Interoperability Space (AIS) and the underlying Agriculture Information Model (AIM). The former offers a wide range of interoperability mechanisms that facilitate the development, validation and deployment of the DEMETER solution, while the latter provides the common (semantic) language used by DEMETER enabled applications to exchange data.
