Synopsis (short abstract) As with many domains, information retrieval and knowledge management (IR/KM) in agriculture suffers from the problems of semantic heterogeneity, making it difficult for providers to disseminate their services effectively and for users to retrieve the information they need. Based on the analysis of resources in the domain of agriculture, this paper proposes a) application profiles for dealing with the problem of heterogeneity originating from differences in terminologies, domain coverage, and dom ain modelling, and b) a root ontology based on the application profile which can serve as a basis for extending knowledge of the domain.

    As with many domains, information retrieval and knowledge management (IR/KM) in ethics suffers from the problems of semantic heterogeneity, making it difficult for providers to disseminate their services effectively and for users to retrieve the information they need. An analysis was conducted of resources provided by two hundred or so information services within the domain of ethics as it applies to issues in science, technology, and research in a European context. Based on this analysis, this paper proposes a) an application profile for dealing with the problem of heterogeneity originating from differences in terminologies, domain coverage, and domain modelling, and b) a root ontology based on the application profile which can serve as a basis for extending knowledge of the domain.

    Metadata application profile for agricultural learning resources 2007

    Capacity and institution building is a core function of the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO). FAO has recently started the “Capacity and Institution Building Portal” to provide structured access to information on FAO’s capacity and institution building services and learning resources. To ensure that the Portal can be searched by users and to enable interoperability with other recognized educational repositories, an Application Profile (AP) was created co nforming to available and commonly used standards, to describe agricultural learning resources. This article presents the AP, provides an example of an FAO learning resource described and displayed using FAO Learning Resource AP, and presents the lessons learned.
