“... FAO’s principle task is to work
to ensure that the world’s
knowledge of food and
agriculture is available to those
who need it when they need it
and in a form which they can
access and use ...”

..from thesaurus to Ontologies….
dr johannes keizer - FAO of the United Nations - knowledge and capacity for development
Chinese Agricultural Ontology Service WS, Beijing 2010-10-30
 Our push of AGROVOC to the Semantic Web had
enormous positive effects, among others
 From 4 to 20 language versions
 Defacto standard for indexing in many areas
 More than 2000 downloads only in 2009
 SKOS incorporated all our requirements
 For many purposes we need semantics on a lower
level than of a fully elaborated ontology – but we
need them urgently
 The development of specific Ontologies should be
always application driven – a demand economy

Better Semantics
dr johannes keizer - FAO of the United Nations - knowledge and capacity for development
Chinese Agricultural Ontology Service WS, Beijing 2010-10-30
around 30,000 concepts
600000 labels in around 20 languages.
one-stop shop for terminological knowledge related to
agriculture in general
a knowledge base of related concepts organized in
ontological relationships (hierarchical, associative,
equivalence)
Is a concept/term/string based system
Concepts may be organized in multiple categories.

Drupal
AgriDrupal is a “suite of solutions” for agricultural information
management and dissemination, built on the Drupal CMS by different
Institutions and individuals who are now sharing their experiences in the
AgriDrupal community

Drupal, a semantic web enabled CMS

General purpose CMS necessary

Drupal has flexibility to manage all information types

Drupal has a strong user community

Version 7 natively with RDF backbone, but semantic applications
already possible with version 6

Drupal can be a producer and consumer of Linked Data

• Objectives:
• Assure quality in metadata creation
• Sharing information in a standardized manner
• Use of common semantics and interoperable
syntaxes
• Use of more sophisticated and specialized
metadata
• Use of controlled, multilingual vocabularies
• Requirements:
• AGRIS AP compliancy
• AGROVOC

What are we doing with unstructured data?
• We have enormous amounts of unstructured
material
• Still most of the documents that we are producing
are mostly semantically unstructured
• Human work to catalogue and index is becoming
always more rare
• We need machines to do automatic semantic mark
ups of text
• If machines are trained and based on concept
schemes, ther are able to do so

• Does Concept identification in unstructured
texts
• Uses Agrovoc as a controlled vocabulary
• Prototype under testing with excellent results
(entire repository of ICARDA indexed)
• Will produce in future Structured RDF files
that can be used to link data like “open
Calais”

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Some auto appreciation
  2. This is the AGROVOC SKOS model that has been developed and decided in April 2010 under active collaboration from Tom Baker, who was member of the W3C SKOS working group.
  3. AgriOcean Dspace release: 09/2010 Setting up of AgriOcean Dspace Community on AIMS: 09-10/2010 exchange of experiences Pilot Testing: “Bangladesh Agricultural Universities’ Institutional Repository” Cooperation with DURASPACE Informing about the new AgriOcean Dspace implementations Collaborating in the Dspace Ambassadors Program
  4. This is a snapshot one year later. The growth is enormous. A central point is DBPedia, “triplified” information from Wikipedia. The different colours represent the different information types, being “life sciences” and “publications” the most populated areas, but with the area “government” strongly growing Interesting newcomers in the last months are the two VIVO datasets from the United States descriping expertise in Science. Vivo is actually a project that started the agricultural library of Cornell University
  5. In a bibliographical record there is much more hidden information than displayed with the metadata. Many of the highly structured data are linking to other information on the web. In AGRIS we have now introduced something what we call “naive linking”. An AGRIS record links automatically to Google Maps for the location of the center and to Google to retrieve the full text of the resource, citation lists or other publications from the authors. This often works, but clearly not alway, s as it is not controlled by semantics, but only through identy of strings. For an uneducated machine unfortunately COW and C.O.W. are the same, whereas peanuts and groundnuts are something different.
  6. The table shows 3 descriptors that are in AGROVOC, EUROVOC and UNBIS. In AGROVOC and EUROVOC they are already encoded as URIs. Easily we could establish relationships like owl.sameAs between the concepts or skos:exactMatch between labels.
  7. If resources are marked up with semantically defined and machine readable concepts, they can be linked and mashed up precisely as we have seen in the example from the BBC. In this example we start with an AGRIS record on Hazardous waste, which is indexed with AGROVOC. Already now we can easily link to material indexed with Eurovoc, here an example from EuroLex. If the UNBIS thesaurus would be restructured to a concept scheme and published as LOD, related UN documents could be attached automatically by the machine.
  8. 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 speaking about thesauri and not ontologies we kept the relation to be chosen purposely vague. The concepts could be matched with owl:sameAS or the terms could be matches with SKOS:exactMatch. A lot of discussion on this is ongoing
  9. One of the groundbreaking enterprises in this area is Thomson Reuters “Open Calais”. This is a webservice that provides semantic mark up for any unstructured text that you feed into their service The service is free of Charge. Why? I will show you later.
  10. My team in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur is developing a similar service for our subject area.
  11. We have here a text from 1964 without a bibliographic record at hand about a plant protection issue
  12. Open Calais is very good in those areas, in which they have their own elaborated conceptscheme against which the texts are analyzed: “Places”, “Persons”, “Business Processes” , “Industry Terms”, but it is weak in the specific topic analysis, what they call “social tags”
  13. AgroTagger still lacks many of the sophisticated features of “Open Calais” , but is much, much better in the subject analysis of the text
  14. We will now try a life demo
