Summary

For data interoperability, Recommendation ITU-T Y.4495 defines requirements and a reference model of data for smart greenhouse service.

Smart greenhouses have improved productivity by controlling the growing environment of crops. The demand for data-based smart greenhouse services has been increasing, as the importance of converged agricultural services (autonomous farm control, pest control, etc.) based on big data is emphasized. Accordingly, the data generated and consumed by IoT devices in the smart greenhouse have been increasing continuously.

In order to efficiently manage and analyse vast amounts of data and create various services based on the analysed data, a standardized data model for data collection and management system is required. In particular, compatibility of data generated and consumed by heterogeneous devices must be guaranteed to ensure interoperability between devices of heterogeneous vendors.
