The e-ROSA project seeks to build a shared vision of a future sustainable e-infrastructure for research and education in agriculture in order to promote Open Science in this field and as such contribute to addressing related societal challenges. In order to achieve this goal, e-ROSA’s first objective is to bring together the relevant scientific communities and stakeholders and engage them in the process of coelaboration of an ambitious, practical roadmap that provides the basis for the design and implementation of such an e-infrastructure in the years to come.
This website highlights the results of a bibliometric analysis conducted at a global scale in order to identify key scientists and associated research performing organisations (e.g. public research institutes, universities, Research & Development departments of private companies) that work in the field of agricultural data sources and services.

Enhancing usability of near-surface geophysical data in archaeological surveys via Google Earth
Conventional archaeological excavation methods are, by design, extremely invasive and result in culturally sensitive areas being irrevocably altered. For this reason, near-surface geophysical techniques have been incorporated into archaeological investigations to aid in locating buried features and developing specific excavation plans with minimal damage to the sites. The objective of our research was to conduct a geophysical surveying campaign at a test site in Knoxville, Tennessee, to develop a workflow for an improved data management methodology that would be applied to data acquired at an active archaeological site in Cyprus. A multi-tool geophysical survey was completed as a first case study at a control site with known subsurface features on the University of Tennessee Agricultural Campus using both ground penetrating radar and magnetic gradiometry. Using real-time differential corrected GPS data, we systematically imported the images into Google Earth as accurately georeferenced overlays on existing topographic maps and air photos. We added placemarks where we interpreted subsurface anomalies based on the data, exported waypoints for the features into spreadsheet software, and correlated the results to the known locations. We next tested this methodology with data from an active archaeological site in southern Cyprus. Data were displayed in Google Earth and accurate GPS coordinates for features were exported into a spreadsheet file. We were able to share a tested, easily accessible final product that was immediately useful and accessible to the archaeologists on the team and the broader archaeological community.
