Study on Service model of the Agriculture Information based Convergence Service

Agricultural data is the key foundation for Smart Farm models, in which a wide range of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) such as IoT and Big Data are converged, to be operated and managed. Given the fact that every single stage in Smart Farm models from crop growing to selling requires appropriate data, it is crucial to have a well-established service model for data collection and its provision. This service model should gather and process data before providing it for users to enhance their convenience in farm business. By converging various data collected from each stage of production, the model should ensure higher quality of service. This paper describes the reference architecture of the service model.
