Building ADC
Agri-food Data Canada (ADC) will be creating a governed data ecosystem, not be a single technology portal. We will be using the following design principles:
- Open source, open development ideals
- Modular design
- Automated processes
- Integrate PIDs (Persistent Identifiers)
- Researcher centric
- Connect data to metadata
- Enter (meta)data once
