Foodie means:
A) A person who seeks new food experiences as a hobby rather than simply eating out of convenience or hunger.
B) A project targeted to support Farm‐Oriented Open Data In Europe.
C) Cloud‐based infrastructure that is being developed to support farmers in the EU.
A), B) and C) are correct!

INSPIRE O&M (Guidelines for the use of Observations & Measurements and Sensor Web Enablement‐related standards in INSPIRE Annex II and III data specification development)
OGC SOS• Performance issues of the XML encoding (one “average” Czech
farm about 10 MB of data a day)• Not assumed multi‐media support
Currently combined approach• XML‐based for basic operations (GetCapabilities, DescribeSensor)• GeoJSON encoding for observations and measurement values• SensLog application supporting above mentioned incl. multi‐
media
The road so far
11www.foodie‐project.eu
One logical model, many physical models…
12www.foodie‐project.eu
Pros• O&M is a valid approach
ISO 19156 as well as its INSPIRE specification• Combination of XML and GeoJSON seems the most promising• VGI data integrations seems feasible (as verified between the running
EU projects during hackathon)
Cons• Distrust of farmers when aggregating (big) data• Cloud‐based solutions working only in one country
Farmers are not supporters when they are in country A and their data on a cloud in country B (even if it is still Europe)
• XML‐based encoding of values is not a way forward• PostgreXL is not working properly on an OpenStack cloud for
geospatial‐oriented sensor measurements
