Designing facilitation for a knowledge share fair: practical steps 2015

Also available in:

No results found.

Share fairs are an excellent opportunity to foster informal networking and problem solving, to bring the concept of knowledge sharing to life, and to show participants what can be done to have a truly interactive and participatory event. A share fair enables the elicitation of both tacit and implicit knowledge as well as know-how: what might be obvious for those who have experience in their own field of work may remain a mystery for others. The share fair itself is normally composed of several d ifferent sessions (technical sessions, debates, market, open sessions, etc.). As much as possible, sessions should be facilitated using knowledge sharing methods, which can take many different forms such as interactive discussions, presentations, brainstorming, mapping, interviews, fishbowl, or World Café. However, given the multitude of possible methods and tools, it can be challenging to know which to use, and when. Beyond selecting knowledge sharing methods to facilitate knowledge exchange, it is critical that they support the over-arching goals of the event. This requires time (before and during the event) and resources (human, financial, material).

AGROVOC 1: Data sharing, interoperability and knowledge organization systems 2023

Also available in:

No results found.

In this publication the principles and benefits of data sharing and interoperability have been introduced. The FAIR principles have been highlighted, with their context in data sharing frameworks. Openness in the context of data has been explained. Different types of vocabularies have been noted, along with the role of Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS) in the data management and sharing framework. To be useful, data need to be open and interoperable. The Open Data Scheme and the FAIR principles describe the level of “openness” of vocabularies. Different types of vocabularies exist, which differ by their level of expressiveness. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) model uses triples of subject – predicate – object to build a vocabulary. AGROVOC is a KOS based on RDF.
