DocumentInternational Workshop of the Knowledge Action Group of the Global Alliance for Climate-Smart Agriculture. Workshop Report
Montpellier, France, March 15, 2015
2015Also available in:
No results found.This report summarizes the proceedings of the “International Workshop of the Knowledge Action Group,” held in Montpellier, March 15th, 2015, organized by CCAFS, FAO, and CIRAD. The workshop brought together participants from Governments, research institutions, farmer organizations, civil society organizations, and the private sector to determine the knowledge priorities for Climate-Smart Agriculture and partnerships to make these priorities possible. The priorities and outputs identified at the workshop formed inputs into the Knowledge Action Group’s work plan for its inception year. The workshop provided background on the role that the Global Alliance for Climate-Smart Agriculture plays in developing a knowledge base for Climate-Smart Agriculture, and provided participants insights into how the Knowledge Action Group of the Alliance is governed and its activities to date. Discussions at workshop focused on the five priority work areas of the Knowledge Action Group (1. technical interv entions and practices in CSA; 2. evidence base of CSA; 3. support, services and extension for CSA; 4. inclusive knowledge systems for CSA, and 5. integrated planning and monitoring for CSA). Participants identified the priority outputs for the inception year and partnerships to achieve these outputs. The workshop provided a platform for participants to share ideas, knowledge, approaches and resources, fostering stronger partnerships between organizations. -
Project7.3.1: Results from experiments in ontology learning including evaluation and recommendation
NeOn: Lifecycle Support for Networked Ontologies, Integrated Project (IST-2005-027595). Priority: IST-2004-2.4.7,
2007Also available in:
No results found.This document describes the Ontology Learning experiments we performed in order to recommend a set of ontology learning techniques to enhance the ontology engineering process in the fisheries domain in place at FAO. Experiments have been conceived in the wider context of the WorkPackage 7 of the NeOn Project. The main contribution of this document to WP7 is a set of recommendations and best practices to exploit semi-automatic technique to acquire knowledge either from domain specific documents a nd existing ontologies. The basic criterion for success indication adopted is the reduction of the development time required for the Ontology Engineering process actually in place at FAO. After a brief overview of WP7, the document addresses the following issues: to describe the state of the art in ontology learning and; to set up an evaluation case study in the fisheries domain; to identify suitable techniques which can be profitably applied to fit the user’s requirements; to evaluate such tech niques in the use case scenario, and, finally, to provide a set of recommendations indicating the most reliable techniques to be included in the ontology engineering lifecycle. -
DocumentEvaluation of FAO’s Contribution to Knowledge on Food and Agriculture
Final Report September 2015
2015Also available in:
No results found.FAO’s knowledge products and services, such as publications, databases, networks and learning resources, are core elements to fulfil the Organisation’s mandate to “collect, analyse, interpret and disseminate information relating to nutrition, food and agriculture”. In 2014-15, the Office of Evaluation (OED) evaluated the contributions made by FAO’s knowledge products and services to sustainable food and agricultural development in response to a request by the FAO Programme Committee with the aim of providing evidence-base recommendations for making FAO’s knowledge-related work more relevant and useful.
