An event can be defined simply as "something that happens at a given place and time." An event can be broken into different 'subsets', for example, by day or session.

The term "Geospatial Data" is used to describe a class of data that has a geographic or spatial nature. Appropriate geo-referenced information on physical and socio-economic resources for agriculture in the broadest sense (including forestry and fisheries) is of substantial value in the analysis of economic feasibility and environmental acceptability of agricultural and rural development and food security programmes.

 

Metadata about an organization are a means to communicate with the source or creator of information (responsible party).

Additionally, certain oranization metadata might help identify regional, national and international organizations specializing in different agriculture-related domains.

 

An expert is someone normally recognized as a reliable source of knowledge, technique, or skills in a domain.

Person metadata is useful also to know the source or creator of information (responsible party). The details about a person may help to provide access to the original resource.

 

All major crops contain genes that have been introduced from their wild relatives to provide important characteristics such as resistance to diseases and pests, enhanced tolerance to stress, and improved levels of vitamins or other nutrients.

Information is essential to guide the conservation and use of genetic resources. Knowing what has been collected and where it is available allows planners to make rational decisions on what still needs to be collected and conserved. Information is also central to the effective use of genetic resources in agricultural development. Knowing where samples come from and what their characteristics are enables scientists to decide what might be useful under given circumstances.

 

Project descriptions are created by different institutions, or by different departments within institutions, for a variety of purposes and with a variety of formalized or less formalized methods. Project descriptions prepared by funding bodies differ from the descriptions available, for example, researchers looking for funding.

The best solution in this case is to adapt one that best meets your requirement.
