RDAR, a major Canadian agriculture research funder, Genome Alberta, and Genome British Columbia are pleased to announce the development of the Agriculture Metadata Commons, a digital database designed to organize and disseminate information about agriculture genomics research data.
Genomics is the big data science that helps us understand DNA – the code of life. With advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence, we are beginning to unlock a whole other level of insight from large data sets.

About the Agriculture Metadata Commons
The Agriculture Metadata Commons aims to bridge long-standing gaps in data access by cataloguing the metadata, information about research datasets, rather than the data itself. This makes it easier to identify what data exists, where it’s stored, and who’s responsible for it.
