IoT and data interoperability in agriculture: A case study on the gaiasense TM smart farming solution.

Among the most important challenges towards the digitisation of agriculture is the high cost of technical equipment and the lack of smart farming systems’ capability to interoperate. This paper presents the gaiasenseTM solution which follows an innovative approach in offering smart-farming services as an inexpensive service with zero technological related investment for farmers. In addition, the concept of the “Data Interoperability Zone” is introduced along with the “Information Management Adapter” aiming to facilitate data interoperability for smart-farming systems.
