Question-Answering for Agricultural Open Data - Transactions on Large-Scale Data-and Knowledge-Centered Systems - page 28

5 Conclusion and Future Work
This paper proposed the Plant Cultivation LOD with a view to establishing
an open standard for agricultural data that models cultivation knowledge with
flexible schemas without adhering to a hierarchical structure, and then presented
a mechanism that we developed to extract the necessary knowledge from the Web
and an evaluation of its accuracy. Moreover, we proposed a voice-controlled
question-answering mechanism for this open schema LOD in order to obtain
knowledge of the problems that farmers encounter on site, and then evaluated
its accuracy through a use case. We are now planning to expand the Plant
Cultivation LOD, and also considering conducting an evaluation of our question-
answering system in the agricultural workplace.
