The e-ROSA project seeks to build a shared vision of a future sustainable e-infrastructure for research and education in agriculture in order to promote Open Science in this field and as such contribute to addressing related societal challenges. In order to achieve this goal, e-ROSA’s first objective is to bring together the relevant scientific communities and stakeholders and engage them in the process of coelaboration of an ambitious, practical roadmap that provides the basis for the design and implementation of such an e-infrastructure in the years to come.
This website highlights the results of a bibliometric analysis conducted at a global scale in order to identify key scientists and associated research performing organisations (e.g. public research institutes, universities, Research & Development departments of private companies) that work in the field of agricultural data sources and services.

The working conditions of the operator of agricultural machinery depend on many factors such as microclimate, ergonomics, noise, vibration and changes over time in respect to the usage intensity. The quality of the workplace from the perspective of human safety and health is unchallengeable at modern machinery but unfortunately the ratio of old to new tractors is still very high. The statistical data of the registry of the Republic of Lithuanian agricultural machinery show that the majority (more than 50 %) wheeled tractors were manufactured in 1990's or even earlier. This machinery is known as insufficient to guarantee healthy working conditions, therefore the relationship between the machinery used in farms is slightly related to the number of occupational diseases (especially NIHL and musculoskeletal). This shows the necessity to investigate the vibroacoustic environment which is, according to various sources and our research data, between 80-90 dB(A) in these tractors. Similar tendencies were obtained analyzing the results of the whole body (WBV) and hand-arm vibration (HAV). It was found that the WBV acceleration values of more than 05 m.s(-2) were exceeded in 80 % of all tractors while the HAV exposition value of 2.5 m.s(-2) was exceeded at 33 % of all workplaces respectively.
