Editor's Notes

  • #17 The main integration works through common semantics Core of agINFRA technology is aLOD store of shared encoded knowledge organization systems an automatic markup to link structured and unstructured data sources through this shared Knowledge Organization systems Sharing within the R.I.N.G. Partner register their services, no technical limitation LOD – Wrapper for all participating Institutions For all registered services a „triplification wrapper“ will be set up The triplifier works with „agConcepts and agIdentities“ to create linked data Steadily growing LOD ecosystem The agINFRA LOD ecosystem offers Webservices for the www
  • #19 the chart on the homepage representing the distribution of services across "service types" (http://ring.ciard.net) (implemented with support from John Fereira); the geographic map on the homepage representing the geographic distribution of services;
  • #21 AgroTagger still lacks many of the sophisticated features of “Open Calais” , but is much, much better in the subject analysis of the text
