The portal provides tools to manage collections of data with metadata published by units across multiple domains within FAO and outside including Partners, NGOs, private sector and space agencies. This portal helps users discover, understand and effectively use data assets.</p> <h2 id="fao-agro-informatics-platform">FAO Agro-informatics Platform</h2> <p>The <a href="https://data.apps.fao.org/?lang=en">FAO Agro-informatics Platform</a> is a transformative digital initiative designed to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by providing access to the latest knowledge and resources. By integrating geospatial and statistical data, the platform facilitates targeted agricultural interventions, converting data into actionable information for sustainable agriculture. This approach not only supports various SDGs - such as poverty eradication, climate action, and hunger elimination - but also enhances the mobilization of finance, science, and policy mechanisms. Notable initiatives like the Hand-in-Hand Initiative benefit from this platform, improving agrifood systems and resilience, especially for vulnerable rural communities and smallholders.</p> <p>The platform has brought together over 20 FAO units across multiple domains, from Animal Health to Trade and Markets, integrating data from across FAO on Soil, Land, Water, Climate, Fisheries, Livestock, Crops, Forestry, Trade, Social and Economics, etc.</p> <p>Data has also been sourced from FAO partners and public data providers across the UN and NGOs, private sector and space agencies.</p> <p>So far, we have assembled a million geospatial layers, thousands of statistics series with 4,000 metadata records.</p> <h2 id="resources">Resources</h2> <p>Find some links to the documentation for the Data Catalog Portal and the Agro-informatics Platform below:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://sdlc.review.fao.org/confluence/display/HIHP/FAO+Data+Catalog">FAO Agro-informatics Data Catalog Documentation</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.fao.org/agroinformatics/en">FAO Agro-informatics Website</a></li> <li><a href="https://data.apps.fao.org/?lang=en">FAO Agro-informatics Platform</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.fao.org/hand-in-hand/en">Hand-in-Hand Initiative</a></li> </ul> <h3 id="playlists">Playlists</h3> <p>Find some links to the videos for the Agro-informatics Platform below:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzp5NgJ2-dK5FwB_Rubn3BaSbigA9En8q">Agro-informatics - YouTube</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzp5NgJ2-dK5m86R0Zt1CvHXKLfRvLv7L">Hand-in-Hand Geospatial - Platform</a></li> </ul> <h2 id="contact">Contact</h2> <p>Support team Email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#4224232d6f262336230224232d6c2d3025"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="0462656b29606570654462656b2a6b7663">[email protected]</span></a></p> <h2 id="frequently-asked-questions">Frequently Asked Questions</h2> <ul> <li><h3>What is the FAO Agro-Informatics Data Catalog Portal?</h3></li> </ul> <blockquote> <p>The FAO Agro-Informatics Data Catalog portal is a customized data management platform that allows you to view, create, manage, publish and share datasets. It serves as a central repository for open data and supports a variety of data formats and metadata used by the Agro-informatics Platform.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><h3>What is a dataset in the FAO Agro-Informatics Data Catalog?</h3></li> </ul> <blockquote> <p>Datasets are what users get from the catalog when searching for data, each of them identified by a unique fixed URL. A dataset is a parcel of data that includes information about the data or “metadata”, and the related resource, which holds the data itself. A dataset can contain multiple resources, representing the same data in different formats or for different years. Data can be added as an upload from your computer or provided as a link to external sources on the web.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><h3>What is an organization in the FAO Agro-Informatics Data Catalog?</h3></li> </ul> <blockquote> <p>An organization, in the FAO Agro-Informatics Data Catalog, is used to create, manage, and publish collections of datasets and to manage users. Organizations can be considered as entities that publish datasets. These entities may be a research institution either National or International, public and private sectors among others. Each organization is responsible for its own datasets and users to manage the dataset publication workflow. Users can have different roles within an organization, depending on their level of authorization to create, edit and publish information.</p> <p>Only system administrators can create a new organization in the FAO Agro-Informatics Data Catalog. Reach out to the team to assist you.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><h3>How do I register to the FAO Agro-Informatics Data Catalog instance?</h3></li> </ul> <blockquote> <p>You can register from the FAO Data Catalog portal by clicking on ‘Log-in’, on the top-right corner of the homepage. The registration process requests you to provide your email address (in lowercase) and your full name and password. Once the registration is complete, the platform will create your account and automatically log you in. Note that, registering to the platform does not automatically give you any special permission or authorization, which are indeed assigned by the admin of an organization. Learn more registration, login and password recovery <a href="https://sdlc.review.fao.org/confluence/display/HIHP/User+Registration+and+Login">here</a></p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><h3>How do I request organization membership?</h3></li> </ul> <blockquote> <p>To be part of one or more organizations, you first need to be a registered user and then make the request to the contact person as indicated on the about page of the organization. You will be assigned to the organization with a role that reflects the level of authorization you need.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><h3>What are the benefits of being a registered user?</h3></li> </ul> <blockquote> <p>Most of the datasets published in the FAO Agro-Informatics Data Catalog are publicly available. However, registered users assigned to one or more organizations can have access to private or unpublished datasets and may be assigned roles to create, manage and publish new datasets within their own organization(s).</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><h3>How can I share my data through the FAO Agro-Informatics Data Catalog?</h3></li> </ul> <blockquote> <p>To share your data through the FAO Data Catalog portal, you need to be a registered user and added to an organization as an Editor or Admin.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><h3>What metadata standard or model should I use?</h3></li> </ul> <blockquote> <p>Dataset and DCAT metadata models are mainly used to describe statistical data (tables and spreadsheets) or to report collections of datasets and groups of layers.</p> <p>The ISO-19115 metadata model is the most appropriate schema to describe spatial data, particularly for raster and vector formats, and to link any type of associated resources to the metadata generated in the catalog.</p> <p>See the <a href="https://sdlc.review.fao.org/confluence/display/HIHP/Datasets+Publishing+Workflow">documentation</a> for more information</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><h3>Can I download data from the FAO Agro-Informatics Data Catalog?</h3></li> </ul> <blockquote> <p>Yes, most datasets can be downloaded directly from their dataset page under Data and Resources. Click on the download link next to the resource you wish to download. If a dataset is restricted, you may need appropriate permissions or approval to access it.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><h3>Are there any restrictions on using the data I download?</h3></li> </ul> <blockquote> <p>Data usage is typically governed by the license under which it is published. Each dataset page includes information about its license. Make sure to review the license to understand any restrictions or requirements for using the data. If you have questions about licensing, contact the dataset owner or our support team.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><h3>How do I report a bug or issue with the FAO Agro-Informatics Data Catalog?</h3></li> </ul> <blockquote> <p>If you encounter a bug or issue, please contact our support team (<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#e086818fcd84819481a086818fce8f9287"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f492959bd990958095b492959bda9b8693">[email protected]</span></a>) with detailed information about the problem. Providing screenshots and error messages can help us resolve the issue faster.</p> </blockquote> </div>  <footer class="footer"> <div class="text-center"> <div class="col-lg-12"> <p>© FAO 2024.
