Agrobiodiversity, or biodiversity for food and agriculture, plays a major role in the sustainability of food production. As stated by
Many projects for sharing agrobiodiversity data in a structured way have emerged over the years. One realizes in looking at the
These standards share some core elements in common, as taxon, location, a period of collecting, and were intended to be used in the context of data on the occurrence of species in nature.
Darwin Core, a TDWG standard commonly used for sharing data of taxon occurrence in nature (
We believe it is possible to use Darwin Core to represent agrobiodiversity data if a metadata extension is developed to enroll the agrobiodiversity concepts missing in Darwin Core. Thus, a research project held at the University of São Paulo in partnership with Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation started to map concepts and descriptors from the literature for agrobiodiversity data representation. This project is the sequence of the research initiated by
