ArticleJournal articleDesigning 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). -
BookletCorporate general interestAGROVOC 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. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical studyCombating Micronutrient Deficiencies: Food-based Approaches 2010
Also available in:
No results found.Micronutrient deficiencies affect more than two billion people in the world today. With long-ranging effects on health, learning ability and productivity they contribute to the vicious cycle of malnutrition, underdevelopment and poverty. Food-based approaches, which include food production, dietary diversification and food fortification, are sustainable strategies for improving the micronutrient status of populations and raising levels of nutrition. Combating Micronutrient Deficiencies: Food-bas ed Approaches focuses on practical, sustainable actions for overcoming micronutrient deficiencies through increased availability, access to and consumption of adequate quantities and appropriate varieties of safe, good quality food. The volume brings together the available knowledge, success stories and lessons learned to demonstrate that foodbased approaches are viable, sustainable and long-term solutions to overcoming micronutrient malnutrition. This booklet is a summary of the publication and contains the abstracts and the list of key words for each chapter. Combating Micronutrient Deficiencies: Food-based Approaches is a useful resource for policymakers, agronomists, food and nutrition security planners, programme implementers and health workers. -
