Transcript of The FAO AIMS team and the Global Rangelands project
The FAO AIMS team and theGlobal Rangelands project
Recent developments in the work on metadata standards, AGROVOC and AgriDrupal that may be of interest to the project
Metadata standards
From the Agris Application Profile to the LODE-BD recommendations
From a recommended XML schema to a recommended set of RDF properties for bibliographic description
Linked-Open-Data-Enabled Bibliographic Data
http://aims.fao.org/standards/lode-bd
LODE BD
Example:“creator”
Global Rangelands metadata Now: bibliographic records from the Global
Rangelands portal have to be exported in the Agris AP format in order to be included in the AGRIS database
In the future: exposing data as RDF records following the LODE-BD will make Global Rangelands bibliographic records searchable and harvestable by both AGRIS and many more services
Subject vocabularies
AGROVOC as Linked Data
Each concept has a URI
Each concept is linked to equivalent concepts in other thesauri / subject lists (LCSH, EUROVOC, NALT…)
Each “triple” on the web that has an AGROVOC URI is automatically in the Linked Data cloud and can also be found using concepts from other “linked” vocabularies

Global Rangelands and AGROVOC
Global Rangelands contents as Linked Data
All local contents in the Global Rangelands portal are indexed with AGROVOC terms, so if they’re exposed as RDF “triples” they are Linked Data!(Drupal allows to expose contents as RDF)
<http://globalrangelands.org/node/xxx><dcterms:subject> *<http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_xxxx>
* An RDF property recommended by the LODE-BD for subject indexing
Integration of AGROVOC in tools AgriDrupal
AgrovocAPI and AgrovocField modulesThe Global Rangelands portal is based on Drupal and already uses these modulesComing very soon:Automatic indexing of content with Agrovoc terms
AgriOceanDSpacePlugin for indexing with Agrovoc
AgriOceanDSpace is based on Dspace, a software tool specialized in the management of documents and bibliographic resourcesAgriDrupal is based on Drupal, a content management system that allows to manage any kind of content

AgriVIVO
New project: Cornell University, GFAR, FAO
Based on the VIVO research discovery tool developed at Cornell
VIVO aims at giving access to comprehensive information on people's expertise, areas of activities of Institutions, existing projects in specific areas and countries, related events and publications
AgriVIVO aims at sharing and giving access to people profiles, affiliations, competencies, publications across agricultural communities -> better networking and collaboration
AgriVIVO
AgriVIVO will not replace any existing community or database, it will work as a common registry of triples and URIs to interlink the data managed in the existing communities and databases.Communities and databases will indirectly share data through AgriVIVO
