ProblemBreeders databases use different names for the same trait, or same trait name for different things.Data are often unstructured.They are NOT interoperable.
Knowledge domain for plant breedersbreeding = ”the art and science of changing the traits of plants in order to produce desired characteristics in given environments.”
