Notes:
3 pages., via blog from Janzen Ag Law - online via AgriMarketing Weekly., Since big data arrived in agriculture a few years ago, I have watched companies struggle with how to address farmers' concerns with ag data privacy, security, and control. Some companies have started with a clean sheet of paper and drafted agreements that reflect what they actually do. Others have taken a short cut by cutting and pasting agreements from other industries. The result is that contracts for ag data collection, use and sharing are inconsistent and often miss the point-to communicate the company's intentions with users.
4 pages., Online via AgEconSearch, Authors explain the basic concepts of Internet+ and big data, analyze the main problems in the application of big data technology in agricultural informationization, summarize corresponding solutions from the aspects of government guidance, financial input, open sharing of agricultural big data, big data storage and processing, data mining, etc., and describe prospects ahead in the province.
Argues that the knowledge and ability to build and describe collections needs to be spread among a larger distributed group of participants in the face of two trends: (1) Traditional methods of organizing,k describing and providing access to documents are being overwhelmed by the ever-increasing number of digitized materials. (2) Cultural and indigenous knowledge is disappearing as environments and people cease to exist. Suggests three mechanisms.
