  1. The CIARD (Coherence in Information for Agricultural Research for development) initiative and a global infrastructure for linked open data (LOD) Dr. Johannes Keizer Office ofKnowledge Exchange, Research and Extension Food andAgricultureOrganizationofthe UN Talk at Mann Library, Cornell University Ithaca, NY 2011-05-06

  2. We will promote research for food and agriculture, including research to adapt to, and mitigate climate change, and access to research results and technologies at national, regional and international levels. We will reinvigorate national research systems and will share information and best practices. We will improve access to knowledge. worldfoodsummit 2009

  5. Involving Institutions into CIARD • Benefits: • increased national/international visibility and use of their research output and content services • increased exchange of information content between their system(s) and others • increased awareness of other research outputs through information content and services • increased access to specialised expertise and knowledge and other partners’ proven solutions • Contributions • promote and implement the CIARD vision and objectives • register products and services on research outputs through the CIARD RING • adopt/promote international standards related to digital research outputs • register institutional profile on Checklist • share lessons learned and experiences

  6. Coherence in Information forAgriculturalResearchforDevelopment A new global movement to provide a platform for coherence between information-related initiatives to make public domain agricultural research information and knowledge truly accessible to all 2005 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 1st IISAST Consultation TASK FORCES CIARD Initiative launched (15 founding partners) Regional Consultations 70 countries 150 info prof. 2nd IISAST Consultation GCARD 2012 e-Consultation & Beijing Consultation + Regional Workshops CIARD endorsed (GCARD and FARA) +112 partners and growing…

  22. If all institutions, which publish about toxic wastes would: • - Index their publications with URIs from AGROVOC,GEMET, NALT, LCSH or EUROVOC • (many do – low hanging fruit!) • - Publish their metadata as LOD • (quite easy to do, bibData map well to RDF Then Everyone who knows to write SparqlQeries could get all these publications with one shot for a new website on toxic wastes

  23. Vocabularies and LOD • Simply publishing your data as RDF does not link them to other data sets  • Creating this links by humans is interesting in detail, but unrealistic as mass processing • Linking 2 standard vocabularies can link 200 datasets which use these standard vocabularies

  24. …just out of the pipele -----Original Message-----From: Antoine Isaac [mailto:aisaac@few.vu.nl] Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2011 7:19 PMTo: UDC SummaryCc: Anibaldi, Stefano (OEKC); Dan BrickleySubject: Re: AGRIS Journals and UDC URIs/ checkingAida, Stefano,…..Of course the first hints re. URIs is to keep it short. www.udcc.org/udcclass_631.1/50900 seems a bit long.Then it might be interesting to use "class" somewhere, if you're going to release entities with a different type one day.On the most difficult issue, class numbers vs. DB identifiers. Probably you will have to create both, if you want to intercept these cases where concepts have changed class number.…………

  28. AGROVOC

  29. AGROVOC • A multilingual agricultural vocabulary organized as concept scheme in 20 languages • Covers agriculture, forestry, fisheries and related themes (food security, land use, environment, etc.) • Organized in sub-vocabularies, e.g. chemicals, fisheries terms, scientific/common names of organisms • Maintained by a global community (e.g. librarians, terminologists, information managers) using VocBench

  30. AGROVOC - Statistics

  31. AGROVOC - Restructuring • Goal: Transform AGROVOC from a traditional thesaurus into a concept scheme with distinction between conceptual level and terminological level • Overall revision done by FAO in collaboration with KSI (Knowledge Sharing and Innovation) team at ICRISAT, Hyderabad, India • Top concepts reduced from 918 to 25 • Around 85,000 term relations revised • Non-hierarchical relationships refined by semantic relations • Ca. 4,000 non-preferred terms changed to preferred terms

  32. Top concepts

  33. Relationships (examples)

  34. Thesauri into the AGROVOC LOD Cloud • 18000 outlinks • 2000 inlinks EUROVOC NALT RAMEAU AGROVOC GEMET STW LCSH

  35. AGROVOC Links after 3 weeks LOD • Outlinks: • GEMET-AGROVOC 1,198 • RAMEAU-AGROVOC  :700 • Total Outlinks: 1898 • Inlinks: • AGROVOC-EUROVOC:1,297 • AGROVOC-GEMET:1,198 • AGROVOC-LCSH :1,093 • AGROVOC-NAL: 13,390 • AGROVOC-STW:1136 • AGROVOC-RAMEAU:700 • Total Inlinks:18,814

  37. The VocBench VocBench concepts and entitiestriples

  38. VocBench Features • Domain independent • Structure independent (i.e. thesauri, Glossaries, etc) • Supports RDF (SKOS, SKOS-XL), OWL • Supports collaborative editing • Supports editorial workflow, with user roles • Simple and advanced search • Supports data export: SKOS, Relational format (MySQL)

  39. LODE - BD

  40. ..what it means • Guidelines how to produce data that easily can be transformed into LOD

  41. LODE-BD Recommendations 1.1. What entities and relationships? What properties?
