    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.

    The Global Symposium on Soil Information and Data GSID24, co-organized by FAO's Global Soil Partnership (GSP) and the Institute of Soil Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (ISSCAS), marked a milestone as the first such event held outside FAO headquarters. It brought together scientists, policymakers, and practitioners from across the globe to address critical issues in soil data management, harmonization, and open access. This Outcome Document reflects the symposium’s discussions, practical solutions, and commitment to treat soil information as a common good, accessible to all. It captures the innovative ideas, technical advances, and recommendations that will guide the next steps towards building a truly interoperable global soil information system. The GSID24 successfully highlighted the role of accurate, standardized, harmonized, and accessible soil data in addressing pressing global challenges such as food security, climate change and land degradation.
