G20 Agricultural Chief Scientists Presentation on Open Data Initiative GODAN
- 1. Presentation to the G20 Agricultural Chief Scientists Xi’an, 2016-05-30Johannes Keizer, GODAN Secretariat, FAO of the UN
- 2. http://www.godan.info GODAN advocates that important datasets in agriculture and nutrition should be considered global public goods and made be available to everyone
- 3. An initiative that supports global efforts to make data relevant to agriculture and nutrition available, accessible, and usable for unrestricted use worldwide Voluntary association of public and private entities including donors, international organizations and businesses who have agreed to a joint Statement of Purpose Rapidly growing initiative, currently with over 270 partners from non-governmental, international and private sector organizations and national governments What is GODAN?
- 4. What is GODAN doing • Advocacy • Think Tank • Knowledge Network
- 5. More than 270 partners 8 Donors in the GODAN steering group
- 6. Why Open Data? • A world where knowledge creates power for the many, not the few • A world where data frees us — to make informed choices about how we live, what we buy and who gets our vote • A world where information and insights are accessible — and apparent — to everyone • This is the world we choose (Open Knowledge International https://okfn.org/)
- 7. Why open data in agriculture and nutrition? • For climate smart agriculture • For efficient pest management • For efficient fertilizer use • For avoiding prices crises • For informing consumers on food contamination • For increasing knowledge on nutrition • ........The list could be cont’d
- 9. Bottom Line on Open Data • Be accessible and curated • Be available in a machine- readable format • Have a licence that permits to access, use and share it
- 10. Challenges • “Open data are good only for the big players” • “Open data will create more data monopolies” • “Research data are only in a specific context meaningful”
- 11. GODAN addresses the Issues • Working group on data rights and responsibilities • Working group on data infrastructure • Working group on better technical, semantic and legal interoperability
- 12. OPEN DATA IN SCIENCE Specific issues:
- 13. If networked science is to reach its potential, scientists will have to embrace and reward the open sharing of all forms of scientific knowledge, not just traditional journal publication. Networked science must be open science.’ Michael Nielsen (OKI)
- 15. Specific Issues with Research Data • Data gets lost • Incentives, Responsibilities, Rights • What aggregation level be public? • Data is not equipped with metadata • Data is not published in a machine- readable format • Data comes always more from the field
- 17. Evidence for open data benefits https://www.mfarm.co.ke/ https://esoko.com/about-us/our-story/ http://vam.wfp.org/ http://foodtrade.com/ https://www.votomobile.org https://rfcx.org/ http://agrinfo.co.tz/ http://www.icow.co.ke/ http://agris.fao.org/ http://www.amis-outlook.org/
- 19. Language that we would appreciate in the Comuniques AgMin, para 11 … Such efforts could help narrow the gap between countries and improve the overall level of development of agricultural science and technology of the world. We take note of the importance of the Meeting of G20 Agricultural Chief Scientists (MACS) in supporting the G20 agenda of agriculture and food security. As such, we support the MACS recognition of agricultural and nutrition data as a global public good, critical to addressing food security challenges and the importance of the Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN) initiative, which advocates making agricultural and nutritional data available, accessible and useable by stakeholders globally. MACS, para 10 ( … We encourage G20 members to participate in and recognize the importance of open data networks, such as the AMIS, the Coherence in Information for Agricultural Research for Development (CIARD) and the Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN), and as such recognize agricultural and nutrition data as a global public good, critical to addressing food security challenges, to promote the sharing and application of data and information of global agricultural research and to encourage uptake of research results by the public and private sector

Notas do Editor
- GODAN has more than 260 partners, among them many governments, but also civil society organizations, private companies and research institutions. The GODAN steering committee is the group of 8 donors, (the UK government, the US government, the Netherlands government, FAO, GFAR, CGIAR, CTA and CABInternational as the Hosting Institution)
- GODAN is part of a bigger movement for open data. I want to bring to you this citation from Open Knowledge International that says
- But there are very specific needs for open data in agriculture and nutriition
- Sir Tim has made a comprehensive statement on openness of data creating a 5 star rating, starting with one star for opening up on the web and raising to 5 stars in an interlinked open data world. 5 star open data a rare and it will take time to go, but it is good to have a vision
- The bottom line is somewhat between the first and second star grading. Data must be accessible and curated, machine readable, and a license that makes it possible to use them To be accessible means that it is usually in machine readable code Data should be in a form that is ‘interoperable’ so that it can be manipulated and aggregated with data from elsewhere to produce results that are of practical use for farmers and consumers Data can be from records of farmer harvests and land use, satellite data on local weather or even visualizations of crop damage Data can help inform farmer decisions and work towards food security
- Not everyone shares the enthusiasm for open data.
- Michael Aaron Nielsen (born January 4, 1974) is a quantum physicist, science writer, and computer programming researcher living in New York City.[3] In 2004 he was characterized as Australia's "youngest academic" and secured a Federation Fellowship at the University of Queensland; the fellowship was for five years.[4] He worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, as the Richard Chace Tolman Prize Fellow at Caltech, and a Senior Faculty Member at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. Nielsen obtained his PhD in physics in 1998 at the University of New Mexico.[1] With Isaac Chuang he is the co-author of a popular textbook on quantum computing.[5] In 2007, Nielsen announced a marked shift in his field of research: from quantum information and computation[5][6] to “the development of new tools for scientific collaboration and publication”.[7] This work includes "massively collaborative mathematics" projects like the Polymath project with Timothy Gowers.[8] Besides writing books and essays, he also gives talks about Open Science.[9] He is a member of the Working Group on Open Data in Science at the Open Knowledge Foundation.[10]
- This diagram is taken from a Nature article from 2015. It shows the complex relationships between Data Intensive Science, large data sets and narrative articles. GODAN supports the Agricultural Data Interest Group of the Research Data Alliance to improve the many relations that are unsatisfactory at the moment
- Only some examples of the many application that are mased on open data: M-Farm and Esoko about price trends in Africa, WFP-VAM for Food Security, Fooodtrade about selling and buying food in the UK, Votomobilie in Ghana, RFCX against illegal logging, agrinfo, Tanzania’s Farm number engine, the AGRIS platform for comprehensive research and technology information, and AMIS, another G20 initiative
- Many G20 countries are already GODAN partners: directly through their governments (Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, USA, UK) or through governmental technical institutions (Canada, Germany, France, China, Italy, Japan) , other are represented through civil society organizations and academia (India, Australia). We are very proud of that .We today ask all G20 countries to join GODAN and to write the GODAN goals into the Comuniques of the MACS meeting and the ministerial meeting.
- We are all advocates for open data and we want to make a step forward and create impact. The question is how. Expertise in the room is unique and glad we have experts from the ground as well as policy makers.
