  1. AGRIS AP Guidelines for Information Object Description

  2. AGRIS APDefinition An application profile is a type of metadata schema which consists of data elements drawn from one or more namespaces, combined together for a particular application

  3. AGRIS APWhat’s AGRIS AP • A Metadata Standard Common format • For the description, Exchange and retrieval of Agricultural information Resources • Based on: • Dublin Core Elements (DCMES) • Agricultural Metadata Element Set (AgMES) • Australian Gov. Locator Service Metadata Set

  4. AGRIS APMethodology • Development of a conceptual map of the different types of information resources used in the AGRIS • Evaluation of standards and common resource description practices

  5. AGRIS APGoals and Objectives • To facilitate interoperability of metadata formats • To facilitate harvesting of data from members • Linking of various types of information • Cross searching facility

  6. AGRIS APGoals and Objectives • Common search interface for heterogeneous archives, i. e. the AGRIS Multi-host Server • Harvesting of Metadata from other sources • Sharing experience between applications and Standards

  7. AGRIS APMethodology • Development of a conceptual map of the different types of information resources used in AGRIS and amend it • Evaluation of standards and common resource description practices • Mapping of currently used elements to the available element pool • studying of implementation results and problems for further enhancements and/or amendments

  8. AGRIS APWhat are the Resources • Resources covered by the AGRIS centres over time are often unavailable nowadays • Electronic publishing is the only gateway to accessibility • These are the unique resources which the AGRIS resource centres can offer • Criteria of Resource selection/ Collection development

  9. AGRIS APUsefulness and Availability Items to be Excluded: • short-lived information • restricted or confidential material • news on local events • textbooks for secondary education • non-original or repetitive material • legislation on local subjects of short duration

  10. AGRIS APUsefulness and Availability Items to be Included: • Preprints of important articles • a very short article on original taxonomic description • a case study in veterinary medicine • obituaries of outstanding scholars • editorials, letters to editors or material which appears in regular columns

  11. AGRIS APUsefulness and Availability Also include: • bibliographic units without creators (anonymous) • opening speeches in meetings, conferences. Etc • literature produced for the extension worker

  12. AGRIS APEssential Definitions • Element: a unit of data or metadata • Element Refinement: An element qualifier makes the meaning of an element either narrower or more specific • Encoding Scheme: may either be controlled vocabularies or formal notations
