Using clinic data
Data gathered at clinics is recorded and uploaded to a central repository
Clinic data is then blended with data harvested from other sources -
CABI publications
Third party information (with permission)
to extract data points relating to the location of plants and the pests and diseases that damage them at a given time
which are then stored for further manipulation in the Plantwise Knowledge Bank
Data Validation
All data points come with an audit trail allowing users to validate their origin and authority
Any contributed data is clearly labeled
Links into CAB Abstracts and onward to published research articles through DOI linking
Data visualization adds value to the original research and creates new insights
Embedded into workflows
Combined with other global datasets
Predictive pest maps

Predictive pest maps
Based on soil profile, where could Coffee Wilt Disease make its next appearance?
Semantic tagging
All terms and concepts controlled and validated by CAB Thesaurus
130,000 terms and phrases, specific to agriculture and related disciplines
Essential to ensure consistency, discoverability and reliability
“Flat” Thesaurus being developed into a three-dimensional ontology using RDF
Breathing new life into a long-standing CABI asset
Business model
Major fund-raising campaign has already secured >$30m for the whole Plantwise initiative, from DFID, SDC, EU, ACIAR and others
The Plantwise Knowledge Bank will be an Open Access resource
CABI will create value-added products and services for commercial sale
Potential users range from academic researchers to quarantine officers and supply chain logisticians
Thank you
