General information

Abstract

This RDF file contains an extension of the SKOS model to model the development stages (or phenological stages) of cultivated plants. This model defines classes representing the main stages and the secondary stages (2 and 3 digits). The general BBCH scale is represented as an instance of skos:ConceptScheme. A new scale was created, intitled, BBCH global scale, that gather all the stages existing in all BBCH scales. It was built during the ANR D2KAB project. See more...
