An Agro-Meteorological Grid Square Data System Enabled Web Application for Agriculture and Its Web API

Abstract

Recently, a lot of Web applications were developed by the technique called as mashup that combined several opened Web APIs of Web services. It is necessary to standardize the data representation form and design easily understandable Web API to combine data and an agricultural model including crop growth prediction model and pest forecasting model, when an agricultural application is constructed by using Web API. Therefore, JAMF became taking the place of weather database mediation service MetBroker that ended service, and the function to acquire meteorological data from Agro-Meteorological Grid Square Data (AMGSD) and Automated Meteorological Data Acquisition System (AMeDAS) has been implemented on it with Web API. Moreover, Web API function to execute agricultural models has been implemented.
