Book (stand-alone)Report of the EIFAC ad hoc Working Party on Handling of Fishes in Fisheries and Aquaculture. Utrecht, The Netherlands, 24-26 March 2004 (Published only online) 2008

No results found.This document presents the results of the EIFAC Ad Hoc Working Party on Handling of Fishes in Fisheries and Aquaculture, including the report of its workshop held from 24 to 26 March 2004 in Utrecht, Netherlands. The welfare of fishes has become a subject of attention in recent years. Concerns have been raised about the potential for infringed fish welfare in fisheries, aquaculture and fisheries research. The Ad Hoc Working Party agreed that handling of fishes must be carried out in a responsible way. Fishes show reactions to injurious stimuli. These stimuli result in physiological stress responses. Depending on the duration and intensity of the exposure to the stressor, the stress response varies from acute to chronic. Handling causing injuries and damage to the fishes should be avoided in fisheries, aquaculture and fisheries research. To ensure the welfare of fish in commercial fisheries, recreational fisheries and aquaculture, sufficient legislation and regulat ion is necessary. All EIFAC member countries discussed in this report have legislation and regulations concerning animal welfare. However, some of the legislation and regulations do not provide specific attention to fish welfare. -

No results found.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 -
Book (stand-alone)Thesaurus alignment for Linked Data publishing 2012
Also available in:
No results found.As part of the publication of the AGROVOC thesaurus as Linked Data (LD), AGROVOC is now mapped with six well-known thesauri in the agricultural domain, i.e., EUROVOC, NALT, GEMET, STW, TheSoz, RAMAEU. To find matching candidates, known matching algorithms discussed in the literature and available from public API were used. Results were evaluated by a domain expert, and almost total precision obtained. The candidate matches that were confirmed have already been added to the LD version of AGROVOC. Moreover, the owners of two of the thesauri mapped with AGROVOC have included in their data the mapping we identified. From this work, we conclude that we achieved our goal to enhance the Linked Data.
