Abstract
New developments in networking have led to a rising flood of potentially available data. However, integration in agricultural applications is quite low at the moment. It is reasoned, that architecture and design of applications have to be rethought. agroXML provides methods for implementing such a new design. Service layers using ReSTful web services can easily be built and are especially well suited to agriculture as they allow quick adaption to new conditions and reuse of data in unforeseen contexts. Business processes can flexibly be implemented on top of that. Semantic layers provide a means for reaching higher interoperability by mapping between standards and vocabularies. All in all, a set of orthogonal technologies can be used to build new, networked applications for integrating data in agriculture.
