TODO - Agri-food research calls for changes in the practices dealing with data
collection, collation, processing and analytics, and publishing thus to
fully benefit from and contribute to the Open Science movement. One of
the major issues faced by the agri-food researchers is the fragmentation
of the “assets” that can be exploited when performing research
tasks, e.g. data of interest are heterogeneous and scattered across
several repositories, the tools exploited by modellers are diverse and
often rely on local computing environments, the publishing practices are
various and rarely aim at making available the “whole story” with
datasets, processes, workflows. This paper presents the
AGINFRA+endeavour to overcome these limitations by providing researchers
in three designated communities with Virtual Research Environments
facilitating the access to and use of the “assets” of interest and
promote collaboration.
