ArticleJournal articleAGROVOC: The linked data concept hub for food and agriculture 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Newly acquired, aggregated and shared data are essential for innovation in food and agriculture to improve the discoverability of research. Since the early 1980′s, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has coordinated AGROVOC, a valuable tool for data to be classified homogeneously, facilitating interoperability and reuse. AGROVOC is a multilingual and controlled vocabulary designed to cover concepts and terminology under FAO's areas of interest. It is the largest Linked Open Data set about agriculture available for public use and its highest impact is through facilitating the access and visibility of data across domains and languages. This chapter has the aim of describing the current status of one of the most popular thesaurus in all FAO’s areas of interest, and how it has become the Linked Data Concept Hub for food and agriculture, through new procedures put in place. -
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 bookTowards an architecture for open archive networks in Agricultural Sciences and Technology 2007The AGRIS Network is an international initiative based on a collaborative network of institutions, whose aim is to promote free access to information on science and technology in agriculture and related subjects. The paper illustrates how the Open Access (OA) and the Open Archive Initiative (OAI) models can be used within the AGRIS Network as a means of solving the problems of dissemination and exchange of agricultural research outputs. The lack of adequate information exchange possibilities bet ween researchers in agricultural sciences and technology represents a significant weakness limiting their ability to properly address the issues of agricultural development. The OA model promotes the dissemination of research output at international, national and regional levels thus removing the restrictions placed by the traditional scientific publishing model. This paper presents the possibility to address the accessibility, availability and interoperability issues of exchanging agricultural research output.
