The Generation Challenge Programme (GCP) is an international research consortium striving to apply molecular biological advances to crop improvement for developing countries. Central to its activities is the creation of a next generation global crop information platform and network to share genetic resources, genomics, and crop improvement information. This system is being designed based on a comprehensive scientific domain object model and associated shared ontology. This model covers germplasm, genotype, phenotype, functional genomics, and geographical information data types needed in GCP research. This paper provides an overview of this modeling effort.
世代挑战计划（GCP）是一个国际研究联盟，致力于将分子生物学进展应用于发展中国家的作物改良。其活动的核心是创建一个下一代全球作物信息平台和网络，以共享遗传资源、基因组学和作物改良信息。该系统正基于一个全面的科学领域对象模型和相关的共享本体进行设计。这个模型涵盖了GCP研究中所需的种质、基因型、表型、功能基因组学和地理信息数据类型。本文概述了这一建模工作。
