Synopsis (short abstract) The longstanding collaboration between the Land Portal and FAO on AGROVOC continues with the co-publication around the purpose and use of LandVoc. LandVoc is a land governance thesaurus and is also a specialized subscheme within AGROVOC. The publication will treat the broader themes of metadata and open data in order to reach a more general audience for presenting LandVoc and AGROVOC. The publication will further tie these issues together through a discussion of how structured metadata is integral for open data to support innovation and improvements in land administration. Though the publication’s discussion of these issues will be anchored around open data, it will note the many additional applications for LandVoc and other structured vocabularies.

    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.
