January's Webinar (please note: one week later than normal - 1/13/2021)
Host: Sook Jung
Presenter: Imma Subirats & Kristin Kolshus
Topic:  AGROVOC Ontologies -- AGROVOC is a multilingual thesaurus and controlled vocabulary, coordinated by FAO, and maintained by an international community of experts and institutions active in the area of agriculture, fisheries, forestry and related domains. AGROVOC is available as an SKOS concept scheme, and is also published as a Linked Data set composed of +38,000 concepts available in up to 40 languages. By means of Linked Data, AGROVOC is aligned to other open datasets related to agriculture and the environment. During this webinar, the AGROVOC Team from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations will introduce how AGROVOC is kept up to date with a number of institutions and individual domain experts serving as focal points for specific languages and topics. With the aim to improve the quality of the services for the agricultural community, AGROVOC is now engaging with expert communities that are contributing and benefiting from the AGROVOC services. This supports agricultural sciences to become more FAIR.
