The AOS/CS Workbench Seventh Agricultural Ontology Service Workshop Bangalore, India Gauri Salokhe {gauri.salokhe@fao.org}
Outline • Background • The AOS/CS Workbench • Characteristics • Users • Features • Current status • Next steps
Background (1/2) • AGROVOC • Used worldwide • Multilingual (online 10 languages) • Term-based (as opposed to concept-based) • Limited semantics (NT, BT, RT) • Maintained as a relational database • Distributed in several formats (RDBMS, TagText, ISO2709, ...)
Background (2/2) • Draft versions available in TBX, SKOS, OWL • Access to full thesaurus through seven Web Services • Agricultural Ontology Service (AOS)
AOS/CS Workbench: a collaborative ontology development tool • Support and manage the multi-language terminology work of information management specialists in the development, maintenance, and quality assurance of the AOS/CS.
AOS/CS Workbench: Users • Term editors • Ontology editors • Validators • Publishers • Administrators - distributed user-base!
Corpus Analysis Manage Concepts, Terms, Relationships Classification Schemes Rules/constraints Quality Assurance Versioning and Deployment Other functionalities Search Import / Export Validations Administration Help AOS/CS Workbench: Features
Concept Hierarchy text corpus .doc, .pdf, .xml, etc. AOS/CS Workbench: Overall design input AOS/CS Workbench concordance pattern-matching multilingual input
Current status • AOS/CS Workbench construction (ongoing) • AOS/CS OWL model finalized • Test project available • Full AGROVOC conversion procedure using the OWL model (ongoing) • Relationships definition (in collaboration with CNR, Italy) (ongoing) • Refinement and adding knowledge to the Ontology (ongoing as part of -- CWR, Food Safety) • Performance tests (ongoing)
Next steps • Completion of the AOS/CS Workbench • AGROVOC conversion and further refinement • Extensive testing on scalability, concurrent use of the Workbench etc. • Create a network of ontology experts • Multilingual subject experts: term editors, ontology editors, validators • Workshops/Trainings • NeOn
