| Abstract | Most peasant farmers are still living below the poverty line when peasant farming is a supposed panacea to poverty and hunger. Farmers' market is capable of alleviating the poverty of peasant farmers particularly if this market is visible enough to eliminate the middle man in the supply chain. A decision support system that gives consumer-buyer precise information about crops quantity and quality in a given farmers' market can provide this visibility. The present need for the global visibility of Nigeria's cash crop farmers' market is dire. This paper lays a necessary foundation for such system by building ontology for cash crop farmers' market in Nigeria. Ontology is the state-of-the-art knowledgebase component of modern decision support systems. The ontology was built using the Noy and McGuiness' methodology and specifically created using Protégé OWL. The ontology was built, and evaluated by Protégé Tool Query and Export Tab plug-in, using a set of competency questions and found to be strongly aligned with its purpose of giving precise information about cash crop farmers' markets in Nigeria. |

NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
