Acceptance of Open Data by the governments, foundations, science councils and other sponsors of research across the world have prompted the trend towards Open Data. Many researchers and organizations have embraced the Open Data policy. Most often the datasets are released through Dataverse. However, just making datasets available is not enough. We need inbuilt user-friendly data extraction and transformation techniques, and analytical features that can facilitate analyses of research data and generate new knowledge and insights from such data. The Village Dynamics in South Asia (VDSA) Knowledge Bank, (http://vdsakb.icrisat.ac.in/), is a unique data warehouse with user-friendly data retrieval and online analytical processing features for household level panel data on India and Bangladesh. It is the first of its kind in the world for managing household survey data. It exemplifies how digital innovation tools (Microsoft SQL and Business Intelligence tools) can be used in processing diverse, complex long-term databases and promoting the cause of Open Data and facilitates decision support needs. This paper has documented the development process, technical features and impacts of the VDSA Knowledge Bank. It provides an in-depth understanding about how to plan, partner with information technology firms, design and implement a data warehouse project. Thus, the main contribution of this paper is featuring how developments in information technology can be innovatively used to promote Open Data and enhance impacts. Hopefully, this study will stimulate interests among researchers and donors in building data warehouse for management and dissemination of Open Data.

农业中开放数据共享和决策支持的数据仓库:VDSA知识库及其发展过程的案例研究

世界各地的政府,基金会,科学委员会和其他研究赞助商对开放数据的接受,促使了走向开放数据的趋势。许多研究人员和组织都拥护开放数据政策。通常,数据集是通过Dataverse发布的。但是,仅使数据集可用是不够的。我们需要内置的用户友好型数据提取和转换技术以及分析功能,这些功能可以促进对研究数据的分析并从此类数据中产生新的知识和见解。南亚乡村动态(VDSA)知识库(http://vdsakb.icrisat.ac.in/)是一个独特的数据仓库,具有用户友好的数据检索和在线分析处理功能,可用于印度的家庭级面板数据和孟加拉国。它是世界上第一个用于管理家庭调查数据的工具。它举例说明了如何将数字创新工具(Microsoft SQL和商业智能工具)用于处理各种复杂的长期数据库并促进开放数据的产生,并促进决策支持需求。本文记录了VDSA知识库的开发过程,技术功能和影响。它提供了有关如何计划,与信息技术公司合作,设计和实施数据仓库项目的深入了解。因此,本文的主要贡献在于如何可以创新地利用信息技术的发展来促进开放数据和增强影响。希望,
