Innovating the wheat community through the RDA services and outputs
The Wheat Community Datathon focuses on getting researchers and other stakeholders acquainted with the data formats, services, protocols and needs of the wheat community. The first day will feature presentations about the various services the wheat group is using, get hold on sample data, as well as the services and outputs the RDA community has produced. In the second day of the event, the participants will have the opportunity to participate in a hands-on session (a laptop will be required) that will involve the use of RDA services and their application together with external related services on the relevant data.
Find out about the fascinating challenges in wheat farming and agriculture, get your hands on relevant datasets and services. Innovate, present your ideas or prototypes for services and win a prize.
Participants should bring their own laptops. If they wish to create any prototype services, they should have a development environment setup and be familiar with technologies
like: REST, XML, JSON, RDF.
The participants can:
- come up and propose complete innovative ideas regarding wheat and agriculture
- create their own prototype services/applications (e.g. a web based app or a mobile app)
