    AGROVOC 1: Data sharing, interoperability and knowledge organization systems 2023
    Also available in:

    In this publication the principles and benefits of data sharing and interoperability have been introduced. The FAIR principles have been highlighted, with their context in data sharing frameworks. Openness in the context of data has been explained. Different types of vocabularies have been noted, along with the role of Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS) in the data management and sharing framework. To be useful, data need to be open and interoperable. The Open Data Scheme and the FAIR principles describe the level of “openness” of vocabularies. Different types of vocabularies exist, which differ by their level of expressiveness. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) model uses triples of subject – predicate – object to build a vocabulary. AGROVOC is a KOS based on RDF.

    This handbook is intended to facilitate an educational approach designed to increase the adoption of on-farm practices that support the organisms that provide ecosystem services. It is produced through the contribution of two projects: the Global Environment Facility (GEF) supported project “Conservation and management of pollinators for sustainable agriculture, through an ecosystem approach” implemented in seven countries – Brazil, Ghana, India, Kenya, Nepal, Pakistan and South Africa; and the EU-funded FP7 project LIBERATION (linking farmland Biodiversity to Ecosystem services for effective eco-functional intensification) – focusing on building the evidence base for ecological intensification in intensive and extensive farming landscape of countries within Europe.
