Pesce V, Kayumbi GW, Tennison J et al. Agri-food Data Standards: a Gap Exploration Report [version 1; not peer reviewed]. F1000Research 2018, 7:176 (document) (doi: 10.7490/f1000research.1115261.1)

This report describes the methodology and results of our gap analysis on the availability and usability of data standards for food and agriculture. This is the first of three analysis reports, which form part of the GODAN Action project which aims to enable data users, producers and intermediaries to engage effectively with open data in the agriculture and nutrition sectors.

This initial report is an attempt to provide a baseline gap analysis, against which subsequent analyses will be conducted. It is based on the content of the GODAN Action Map of agri-food data standards as of 20 November 2016. However, since this is the first gap analysis report and is based on an early and presumably incomplete version of the database, it focuses primarily on the overall methodology and criteria, and only gives an initial tentative overview of the partial gap analysis results.
