johannes keizer Disappearing Data 3 These are the data from my Phd thesis, I started to look for them

…at the end I found a record about my PhD thesis, somewhat proud, that I found it through AGRIS, our own service. But the data could not be found, they were practically lost in the few print copies and microfiche of the thesis 6

johannes keizer Infrastructure elements  The RING  Vocabulary Server AGROVOC,CABT, NALT  The “VEST registry” (Tools, metadata)  Customized Content Management on the cloud Agridrupal, AgriOcean Dspace  Tools and Methodologies to produce LOD

johannes keizer Infrastructure: Agrisemantics  Creating a common access point for Ontologies, taxonomies, vocabularies  Aligning the 3 agricultural thesauri (Agrovoc, NALT, CABT) Global Agricultural Concept Scheme  Cutting edge editing environments (VocBench and Skosmos) have already been deployed  GACS prototype to be released in spring

johannes keizer Applications  AGRIS Basis bibliographical database with more than 7 million records Uses AGROVOC and bib metadata to link to other open datasets  AgriProfiles Based on the “Vivo” application, Harvests Expert data from different sources and gives the possibility for semantic searches  AgriFeeds Aggregated News and Events Feeds semantically organized 30

johannes keizer Content Coverage  International System for Agricultural Science and Technology  Food science, forestry, aquaculture, fisheries  Grey literature, small and big publishers  7,802,156 multilingual bibliographic records  200,585,375 triples 31

johannes keizer AGRIS’ users  Accessed from more than 200 countries and territories  Peaks of 250,000 visits/month (G.A.)  Users’ categories: Researchers, professors, graduated students Librarians, cataloguers Small journal publishers, professional associations, conference organizers Government officers asking for reports on a certain topic 32

There is a lot to do! Some problems need to be resolved, especially on interoperability standards But there is an enormous potential in making linked open data available From government, science and business… 36
