High Throughput Data Generation needs standardized trait concepts
• Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) platforms for detailed analysis of largest plant genomes
• Phenotyping platforms measure a wide range of structural and functional plant traits at the same time as collecting meticulous metadata on the environment and experimental setup [Fiorani and Schurr, 2013]
•GWAS typically focus on associations between a single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and traits.

Harmonization and access to data
Maize Kernel Colour
Rice grain or caryopsis colour
Bean pod color
• Breeders’ data are often unstructured data - Complex free text used for phenotypes description
• No semantic coherence : • Same trait given different
names by scientists
• One trait named the same way for various species but refers to different plant structures
• Data and metadata are NOT
interoperable and often not online
‘Fruit colour‘

Integrated Breeding Platform www.integratedbreeding.net
• one-stop shop for services to design and carry out breeding projects – Integrated breeding workflow
• Breeders’s databases share a common schema and are being published online
• IB Fielbook is available with a standard list of traits per crop

Phenotype
It is a composite of an entity (e.g. fruit) and an attribute (e.g. shape) with a value (e.g. round):
Entity + Attribute = Trait
Entity + (Attribute + Value) = Phenotype (observed)
fruit + (shape + round) = fruit shape round
-> round fruit is the phenotype

Crop Ontology
• Crop Ontology is primarily an application Ontology for fielbooks
• A visualization tool supporting community-based development tool of trait dictionaries and crop specific ontologies
• Compare and validate terms in common
Rosemary Shretha, CIMMYT CO coordinator until 2012,
![Page 13: PAG XXII 2014 – The Crop Ontology: A resource for enabling access to breeders’ data – E Arnaud](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554c871eb4c905834a8b510d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Community based development process
• Domain experts (breeders, pathologists, agronomists, etc) and Data managers identify the list of concepts
• For an variety evaluation project, Data Managers and breeders produce the IBfieldbook template with the traits and submit new terms
• Crop ontology curators in the Crop Lead centers curate, validate, compile the list and upload on the site
• The Global Crop Ontology Curator curates the crop ontology with the Crop Lead Centers’ curators
• Web development expert maintains the site

Linked Open Data Cloud • A term used to describe a recommended best practice for exposing,
sharing, and connecting pieces of data, information and knowledge • It builds upon standard Web technologies such as HTTP, RDF and
URIs • Rather than using them to serve web pages for human readers, it
extends them to share information in a way that can be read automatically by computers.
• This enables data from different sources to be connected and queried.

Release of Agris 2.0 agris.fao.org
• AGRIS bibliographic records contain rich metadata and are largely indexed by AGROVOC FAO’s multilingual thesaurus

AGRIS 2.0 and Phenotypic Data
1. The AGRIS datasets were converted to RDF creating some 200 million triples. AGROVOC was aligned to other thesauri.
2. Sparql endpoints, web services and APIs were discovered.
3. AGRIS RDF was interlinked – using AGROVOC LOD as a backbone – to external datasets.
• Align Crop Ontology with AGROVOC in SKOS/RDF • Promote the publishing of Phenotypic data into RDF • Objective : Retrieve bibliographic references and data from
phenotypic databases in the mash up site
• AGRIS 2.0 uses the Linked Open Data Methodology to link various source of data in the mash up site
• Proof of concept done with the Collecting mission database of Bioversity International
• 3 steps
