The Crop Ontology Governance and Stewardship Framework (Arnaud, E., Hazekamp, T., & Laporte, M.-A. (2022). Governance Framework of the Crop Ontology. Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11619369) is available - here . Over the last 14 years of its existence, Crop Ontology has significantly increased in scope and use. The Governance of the Crop Ontology Community of Practice is organised around a Project PI, a Technical Coordinator and three Advisory Committees.
Crop Ontology Project PI Elizabeth Arnaud, Alliance Bioversity International-CIAT
