Access to a wide range of information, from rigorous scientific results to 'hear-say' farmer's knowledge is becoming critical to be able to target efforts in achieving food security planning at community or country levels. Also, designing scientific and intervention strategies within changing climates and markets is a fundamental challenge. Developments of technologies for data collection in mobile communications, sensor platforms, spatial search and pervasive computing are fundamentally changing research in agriculture. However, inter-disciplinary research needed to transform raw data into useful intelligence and knowledge to improve the planet's environmental, economic and societal well being is still constrained by disciplinary and organisational silos and legacy concepts and an non-existent or non-rigorous approach to quantifying the uncertainty intrinsic in any collected dataset. GRASP-GFS will use a geospatially-anchored 'genotype' database integration principle to query such multidimensional data information, including papers, reports, indigenous, socio-economic and farmer's knowledge. This framework will enable uncertainty assessments through the use of quality weighting descriptors of the different components within a chosen geo-workflow model for food security.Cross-disciplinary expertise driven from geospatial sciences methodologies will be used to develop this integrating framework across all subjects relevant to Food Security. The driving focus will be the agricultural species germplasm for genotype characteristics with the data ordered by geospatial origin with the higher level descriptor being the 'agricultural trait'. A particular novel aspect is the combined use of climate records or scenarios and land ground condition data with known (and new) sources of traits in crop, animal and microbial species of agricultural importance. This will permit new perspectives on genetic diversity, identifying new sources of germplasm and sources of trait variation, geolocating suitable germplasm by a combination of agro-ecological modelling and matching principles, planning breeding objectives with the greatest likely impact by taking into acccount the added information of local market and farmer knowledge. These modelling capabilities will come from framing each above model within a generic approach allowing workflow composing based on semantic description of data and processes and workflow quality assessment for uncertainty/error propagation. Two use cases modelling with wheat crop in the UK and bambara groundnut in Malaysia will demonstrate the approach with crop specific data and processing models to forecast geospatial trait variation for these two crops.Supporting the Crops for the Future Research Centre (CFFRC) in Malaysia, the GRASP integrated geospatial platform for agricultural species, including major pests and diseases, will allow future investigators to shape the data handling and integration according to their subject requirements, before contributing to the population of the prototype database. Data capture from sensor network to remote sensing, including crowd-sourcing from farmers will be further integrated within the GRASP platform allowing other refinements of the workflow modelling and multiple scale scenario risk assessments.Using open standards and interoperability principles developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), the platform deliverable software will be released under open source license to enable wide use and further developments also ensuring sustainability of the project. Both desktop interfaces and web interfaces with compiled current databases (with updating facilities) will be released, enabling wide audience usage even from remote places with weak internet connections. The GRASP-GFS aims to link with other global initiatives such as GEOSS (Global Earth Observation System of Systems) and GeoNode to develop productive interaction between bench, economic and social scientists.

获得广泛的信息，从严谨的科学结果到农民的“道听途说"知识，对于能够有针对性地努力实现社区或国家一级的粮食安全规划变得至关重要。此外，在不断变化的气候和市场中设计科学的干预战略是一项根本性的挑战。移动的通信、传感器平台、空间搜索和普及计算中的数据收集技术的发展正在从根本上改变农业研究。然而，将原始数据转化为有用的情报和知识以改善地球环境，经济和社会福祉所需的跨学科研究仍然受到学科和组织筒仓和传统概念以及不存在或不严格的方法来量化任何收集的数据集中固有的不确定性的限制。GRASP-GFS将使用地理空间锚定的“基因型”数据库集成原则，查询此类多维数据信息，包括论文、报告、土著、社会经济和农民知识。这一框架将通过在选定的粮食安全地理工作流程模型中使用不同组成部分的质量加权描述符来进行不确定性评估，将利用地理空间科学方法驱动的跨学科专业知识来制定这一涉及粮食安全所有主题的综合框架。驱动重点将是基因型特征的农业物种种质，数据按地理空间来源排序，更高级别的描述符是“农业性状”。一个特别新颖的方面是将气候记录或情景和土地地面条件数据与具有农业重要性的作物、动物和微生物物种的已知（和新）特性来源相结合。这将允许对遗传多样性的新观点，确定新的种质资源和性状变异的来源，地理定位合适的种质相结合的农业生态建模和匹配的原则，规划育种目标，考虑到当地市场和农民知识的补充信息，最大可能的影响。这些建模能力将来自于在通用方法中构建上述每个模型，从而允许基于数据和流程的语义描述以及针对不确定性/错误传播的工作流质量评估来组成工作流。英国小麦作物和马来西亚bambara花生的两个用例建模将展示作物特定数据和处理模型的方法，以预测这两种作物的地理空间性状变异。将允许未来的研究者在为原型数据库的人口做出贡献之前，根据其受试者的要求来塑造数据处理和整合。从传感器网络到遥感的数据采集，包括农民的众包，将进一步纳入大型类人猿生存项目平台，以便对工作流程建模和多尺度情景风险评估进行其他改进。该平台可交付的软件将在开放源码许可证下发布，以便广泛使用和进一步开发，并确保项目的可持续性。将发布桌面界面和网络界面，其中包括汇编的当前数据库（具有更新设施），使广大受众能够使用，即使是在互联网连接较弱的偏远地区。GRASP-GFS旨在与全球对地观测分布式系统（GEOSS）和GeoNode等其他全球性举措建立联系，以发展实验室、经济和社会科学家之间富有成效的互动。
