Synopsis (short abstract) This document is the reference framework for FAO publications. For all stages of the publications process from conceptualization to dissemination. The guidance provided in the various sections of this document focuses on matters regarding the workflow, visual identity, content and structure of all publications produced by FAO both at headquarters and in decentralized offices (DOs).Specifically, in addition to FAOSTYLE, three new sections of this publication are also now available: "Publishing policy", providing high-level guidance aimed at Editorial Committees, managers and unit publications coordinators involved in the creation or approval of a publishing plan; "Authorship and plagiarism guidelines", which outline the principles and criteria for authorship of FAO publications; and "Graphic design guidelines", focusing on the practical application of FAO's visual identity and design standards.Additional guidelines will be released later this year, including updated versions of FAOSTYLE in Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish; a new and improved PWS user guide; and an updated "Open Access policy". Brand new titles will include "Accessibility guidelines"; "Digital-first publishing guidelines" and a project management guide geared towards publishing projects.

    Report of the Technical Consultation on Technical GuidelineResponsible Fish Trade. Rome, 5-7 November 2007. [Published only on the Web site] (Arabic version) 2008
    Also available in:
    The Technical Consultation on Technical Guidelines for Responsible Fish Trade was convened by FAO at the request of the twenty-seventh session of the Committee on Fisheries (COFI) (Rome, 5–9 March 2007) and the tenth session of the COFI Sub-Committee on Fish Trade (Santiago de Compostela, 30 May–2 June 2006). The Consultation was attended by 34 Members of FAO and by observers from two intergovernmental organizations. The Consultation welcomed the draft Technical Guidelines. Many delega tions noted the importance of ensuring that the draft Technical Guidelines did not result in the creation of additional barriers to trade. The Technical Consultation also agreed that responsible fish trade objectives must be underpinned by responsible management practices. Recognizing that the available time did not permit the Technical Consultation to complete its consideration of the draft guidelines in their entirety, the delegates agreed that the Technical Consultation be re-opened at a later stage for discussion of the remaining paragraphs.

    In the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the need to revamp its popular agriculture vocabulary AGROVOC using Semantic Web knowledge representation standards combined with the need to provide a collaborative environment for development and maintenance purposes, pushed forward the realization of a dedicated AGROVOC thesaurus maintenance tool. With the progressive standardization of the AGROVOC knowledge model, following recent Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS ) recommendations by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and with the addition of more FAO-maintained vocabularies, the former “AGROVOC Concept Server Workbench” has become a general-purpose framework for thesauri and vocabulary development and is now reborn as “ VocBench”. In this paper, we describe the path which led to its realization and its main features
