5 Conclusion
Food security is a global challenge and agriculture can address this challenge
through radical improvements in productivity, eciency and effectiveness. Inter-
net of Things (IoT) is a major enabler of such improvements through sensing,
actuation, use of analytics and visualisation. This paper discussed challenges
that agricultural industry is facing and has proposed a solution developed as
part of the EU FP7 OpenIoT project. Phenonet is an OpenIoT use case devel-
oped by CSIRO, Australia and demonstrated how digital agriculture can and
should benefit from deploying the IoT and commercialising sensing-as-a-service
and cloud-based solutions. Phenonet development included development of a
phenonet ontology, extensive experimentation with various sensors deployed in
the field, semantic transformation of acquired data, analytical processing and
user-driven visualisation of the results. Experience and lessons from using Ope-
nIoT middleware for Phenonet development have also been presented and
analysed.
