agINFRA – a multilingual infrastructure for information on agricultural innovation

agINFRA – a multilingual Infrastructure for Information on Agricultural Innovation
Agricultural Ontology Service workshop 2012, Bangkok, February 9
Dr. Johannes Keizer Office of Knowledge Exchange, Research and Extension Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN

“ ... FAO’s principle task is to work to ensure that the world’s knowledge of food and agriculture is available to those who need it when they need it and in a form which they can access and use ...”

This Talk
Agricultural Innovation will be a key issue to combat hunger and poverty in the world in the next years,
Access to information is one of the key issues for Agricultural Innovation.
Information on fundamental research, applied research, technologies and good practices is growing exponentially.
The traditional channels to access this information have become insufficient to guarantee access.
Multilinguality has become a bigger issue as ever before.
A linked open data infrastructure between plurilingual resources is necessary.
A key element of such an infrastructure are linked multilingual vocabularies.
The EC FP 7 granted project agINFRA is working to make such vocabularies globally available and to provide tools for creating a linked open data environment.
