Synopsis (short abstract) This paper focuses on the AGRIS Application Profile (AGRIS AP), a standard created specifically to enhance description, exchange and subsequent retrieval of agricultural Document-Like Information Objects (DLIOs). The AGRIS AP provides a minimum interoperability layer through which agricultural information can be described and exchanged. The standard, developed in light of the new AGRIS vision, offers the flexibility to enhance the quality of description of agricultural information resources. The paper discusses the advantages of the AGRIS AP as opposed to the current standards by pointing out its strengths, its possible applications and how it will be further developed in the future.

In databases such as AGRIS, there is large quantity of metadata records, dating back several decades. Most of these records do not have full-text documents available in the originating repositories. However, it has been shown by a paper published in the Dublin Core Conference in 20032 that there is an effort to put resources on the Internet retrospectively. This paper proposes that for scientific and technical information resources, a well-structured and high-quality metadata record co ntains enough information to find that resource on the Internet, and as a consequence, no additional human labour is needed to create or maintain any links to full-text.
