Overview

The Agriculture and Livestock Metadata Elements Set (Almes Core) is a structured metadata schema designed to enhance the FAIRness (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability) of agricultural price index datasets. Developed and maintained by the Almes Core Management Group, the schema provides a standardized vocabulary for describing datasets related to agriculture, commodities, and price indexes.

The name “Almes Core” was chosen to reflect the schema’s broad and extensible design, allowing for future expansion into other agricultural domains beyond price index data.

Conceptual Model

Conceptual Model Diagram

This conceptual model represents the metadata schema for managing and documenting resources, datasets, and observations, primarily within the domain of agriculture and economic statistical operations. The model defines a set of classes and properties to describe how data is structured, with a particular focus on datasets and observations of product prices.

Classes

The model consists of three main classes:

  1. Resource
  2. Dataset
  3. Observation

Relationships Between Classes


Class Descriptions

1. Resource

Definition: A general class representing any resource published or curated by a single agent.


2. Dataset

Definition: A structured collection of data, often used in economic and agricultural contexts to represent measurements and observations about products, prices, and other factors.


3. Observation

Definition: An observation is a specific recorded data point, typically used to represent the price of an agricultural product at a specific point in time, along with other relevant attributes.


Key Relationships

alm:hasObservation

Example of Relationship:


Use Case Example

Consider an economic statistical operation that tracks the price of various agricultural products over time. In this scenario:

  1. Resource: Represents the overall collection of datasets published by an organization responsible for managing agricultural statistics.
  2. Dataset: Could represent the time series data for the price of different products, such as grains or livestock, categorized by product type and theme (e.g., Price Index for Domestic Agriculture).
  3. Observation: Individual data points within the dataset, capturing the price of a product at a given time and in a specific currency.

Extended Almes Core

Extended Almes Core was created to support the use of the metadata schema in RDF, within the namespace https://w3id.org/AlmesCore/rdf#.

The publisher and creator properties describe the entities responsible for publishing the Datasets. To provide more detailed information about these entities beyond just their names, these properties can be instantiated using the Agent class, which includes attributes such as name, homepage, and email. Using the Agent class is optional in the Simple Almes Core, and mandatory in the Extended Almes Core.

The productGroup and productType properties may have subproperties productGroupURI, productGroupName, and productTypeURI, productTypeName, respectively. The use of this subproperties is not mandatory, but highly recommended.

As mentioned before, in the Simple Almes Core, location may provide only the name of the location in textual form. In Extended Almes Core, location should be instantiated using the GeoNamesFeature class, which has two properties: geoNamesName, to give the location name as it appears on the GeoNames ontology, and geoNamesID, to provide the URI of the concept representing a location within the GeoNames ontology.
