Abstract

During the past few years a significant number of agriculture-related research and development projects have been implemented by receiving funding from the European Commission. All these projects have aimed to address specific problems and have produced solutions documented in the digital objects created in their context. However, the uptake of the existing information and knowledge by the concerned stakeholders is not yet adequate. On the other hand, the divergence of the available digital objects in terms of their types and formats poses significant challenges in homogeneously describing them with metadata. The Horizon 2020 EUREKA project aims to make a contribution towards this direction by developing a FAIR digital repository based on a semantic data model. The present document focusses on the design decisions related to it, as well as the rationale for the need to develop FAIR digital repositories based on formal data models.
