CEA OPEN DATA

Accelerating Controlled Environment Agriculture Research

Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) is a data-driven scientific discipline. However, public data on CEA is scarce. Moreover, more and more scientific journals and grants require data dissemination. The Controlled Environment Agriculture Open Data (CEAOD) initiative, started in early 2019 by NCERA-101 Committee on Controlled environment Technology and Use, aims to promote data sharing to help accelerate CEA research. There are 3 pillars in this initiative.

  1. Data format recommendations: this helps researchers collect data following the best practices and then share data in a format that can be consumed easily by other people.
    2. Data Guidelines
  2. Data repository: this helps researchers to browser datasets and/or contribute your own data easily. This central repository also enhances the discoverability of data and the associated research.
    3. CEAOD Upload Guidelines
  3. Tools: we also aim to develop tools that make it easier to standardize and share your data as well as tools for common data analysis.
