See who endorses the guidelines

To stay relevant and useful for the wheat data community, it is important that the recommendations contained here are maintained. This will be especially true as new technologies are developed requiring standards to be agreed. The maintenance of the guidelines will depend on an ongoing process of monitoring practices across the wheat community, and maintaining communication with those who are producing and using wheat data. There are many ways you can help.

Join the maintenance group: The guidelines have been initiated by a working group in the context of RDA (Research Data Alliance: https://rd-alliance.org/) and will be maintained by the WheatIS (Wheat Information System: http://wheatis.org/) within the framework of the International Wheat Initiative (http://www.wheatinitiative.org/). This group is open and all contributions are welcome. You can join us to help keep the guidelines accurate and up-to-date with the latest standards and practices in Wheat research.
