FAO Examples in Agriculture Domain

Food Safety
International Portal on Food Safety, Animal & Plant Health
a domain ontology for food safety, animal health, and plant health of 1600 concepts in English
Starting from the AGROVOC Thesaurus and specific terminology from web sites and documents
Ontology was modeled using the KAON tools.

Food Safety 1600 concepts
Information Resources
Codex Alimentarius

Goal
Making information interchangeable between ASFA, FIGIS, OneFish and AGROVOC
Approach
Creating an ontology, integrating or mapping the 3 different systems + AGROVOC
Linking of the Ontology through wrappers to the different Information Systems
25000 concepts – English

Fisheries ASFA OneFish FIGIS AGROVOC Aquaculture Resource Water Area land strains Species life cycle Farming system management system Production center Spawning technique Breeding technique Hatchery technique Expl. form Regulation Farming technique Environment Institution Health monitoring technique diseases suppliers

Fisheries

Fisheries “ navire de p ê che”, “fishing vessel”, “ embarcaciones de pesca” AGROVOC or ASFA or other “ fishing vessels,” “ fishing boat,” AGROVOC: “ships” ASFA: “fishing vessels”

String based search

Closer look at the results Concept-based search - Did you mean vessels (fishing) or vessels (blood) ?

Example
“Japanese fishing vessel”
The system searches for documents related to Japan and fishing vessel
If 0 results are retrieved, the system searches for Asia and fishing vessel
Japan Asia

Bibliographical Metadata Ontology: 14 ‘metadata’ concepts + 1800 instances – 3 languages
ontology was created, as follows:
A “meta”-metadata ontology was created containing relationships between resource attributes such as title, author, keyword.
Metadata from 2 different sources combined and converted to RDF.
use existing semantic relationships between, for example, author and keyword, that are not normally exploited in bibliographic databases allowed for more meaningful and hence user-friendly browse experiences.

External Examples in Agriculture Domain

Cataloguing existing training resources and searching by ontology.
Ontology
215 concepts related to Crop-bioscurity
~100 properties that relate the concepts to each other
Training material are instances of the ontology
Metadata created by merging NAL, AgNIC, E-extension and Extension Disaster Education Network (EDEN)
