The document provides examples of ontology applications in agriculture domains including: 1. FAO examples such as a food safety ontology with 1600 concepts, a fisheries ontology integrating multiple systems with 25,000 concepts, and a food and agriculture journal ontology. 2. External examples including a crop biosecurity ontology cataloging training resources and a crop pest ontology to facilitate image searching. 3. Vivo, a virtual life sciences library at Cornell powered by an underlying ontology.

4. 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. http://www.ipfsaph.org/

5. Food Safety 1600 concepts Information Resources Codex Alimentarius Agreements Brainstorming Ontology Ontology Editor (OI-Modeler) subject specialists Agrovoc Food Safety Documents Generic Documents

8. Fisheries 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

9. 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

10. Fisheries

11. Fisheries

12. 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”

13. String based search

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

15. 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

16. Food Nutrition and Agriculture Journal 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.

33. Crop-biosecurity Ontology

34. Crop-biosecurity Ontology 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) Contact: Howard Beck {hwb@ufl.edu } http://www.minuetto.net/soonho/cropbiosecurity/web4
