A logical data exchange model for adapting different methods abstracting plant architecture

Diverse methods abstracting plant architectures are applied in different FSPMs (Functional Structural Plant Models). The abstracted plant architectural data are not applicable for every FSPM because the data models applied in the diverse methods are not compatible. In this paper, we introduce a logical data exchange model EG (Exchange Graph) for adapting different methods abstracting plant architecture. We also illustrate how plant architectural data is adapted and transferred between different FSPMs through a XML based physical data model of EG, XEG.
