The situation

• a 30 year-old thesaurus

• 40 000 terms in almost twenty languages

AGROVOCthesaurus

• Evolving through the decades by a changing, global group of institutions and terminologists

• Control over time shifting across geography and management structures

Born in an era of paper-based

research

• Used by information centers around the world

• The only globally important agri-thesaurus

An indexing standard

SemTech 2011, Yves Jaques, FAO of the UN 3

Page 4: VocBench Vocabulary Editing and Workflow Management

The information revolution

• AGROVOC moved to an OWL model in 2005.Semantic web

• SKOS-version released

• Over 18 000 alignments to other major thesauriLinked open data

• Library of Congress Subject Headings / Rameau

• National Agricultural Library Thesaurus

• Eurovoc / GEMET / STWAlignments

But how to maintain AGROVOC and better yet…

keep it growing?

Page 5: VocBench Vocabulary Editing and Workflow Management

The opportunity

Rethink how to manage AGROVOC

Embrace new frameworks

Leverage existing components and libraries

The solution

SemTech 2011, Yves Jaques, FAO of the UN 6

Page 7: VocBench Vocabulary Editing and Workflow Management

The work

Remodel using semantic standards, OWL then SKOS

Decentralize maintenance and evolution

Use standard platforms, e.g. web browser

Leverage existing components, e.g. GWT, Lucene, Protégé API

Hide model’s true complexity

Include the publishing workflow

Issues

Some scalability issues

(AGROVOC has 40 000 concepts in to 20 languages)

Rich GUI requires high-bandwidth connection

Not yet fully SKOS-compatible

(v2.0, late Summer 2011)
