Outline
Existing constraints
… and unmet demands
Our vision to transform…
Some examples and next step

Existing constraints…
Limited resources prevent Thai AGRIS Centre from catching up with exponential growth of agricultural information
Vocabularies in AGROVOC do not cover enough and not up to date
Existing search engine does not smart enough for Thai/English searching

… and Unmet demands
A number of agencies have demonstrated intention to participate in Thai AGRIS data entry process but the existing system does not support
Various groups of users with increasing and diversified demands requesting more specific services and more extensive search result

Next step…
We’ve only just begun. We believe that the strategies will help sustain and enhance our services.
We believe that our enhanced system will also benefit the other AGRIS Centre and international agricultural information community.
However, the achievement of our strategies require support from our stakeholders and partnership, both in terms of technical assistance and resources.
