Ciard Initiative and a Global Infrastructure for Linked Open Data
The document summarizes a talk given by Dr. Johannes Keizer on the CIARD (Coherence in Information for Agricultural Research for development) initiative and a global infrastructure for linked open data (LOD). The CIARD initiative aims to provide open access to agricultural research by promoting standards and sharing information. It involves institutions contributing their research outputs through the CIARD RING and adopting standards. The infrastructure proposed includes distributed repositories linked through vocabularies and LOD. Tools are being developed to generate LOD and link datasets through shared concepts.

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.…………

- #25 How does this work: A resource is connected with each concept URI in the web. The concepts between three vocabularies are having same literal which is connected with owl:sameAS/exactMatch relationship. As we are speakingaboutthesauri and notontologieswekept the relation tobechosenpurposelyvague. The conceptscouldbematchedwithowl:sameAS or the termscouldbematcheswith SKOS:exactMatch. A lotofdiscussion on thisisongoing
