Meeting objectives. The new edition of the IGAD Event at the RDA's 13th Plenary Meeting will be held on 1 April 2019 in Philadelphia (United States). Following the IGAD Meeting in Gaborone on Data Collection: State of the Art, Challenges and Solutions, we would like to focus on the next related topic Agricultural Data Interoperability: Opportunities and Lessons Learnt from Sharing and Re-Using Data. For example, we invite contributions from agricultural open data projects and initiatives to support new analyses, modeling, or decision support tools. Discussion can involve both policy and technical aspects of agricultural data interoperability.
