The RING (1): a registry of information sources

• The CIARD RING is a global registry of information sources and services in agriculture (search engines, databases, repositories, Open Archives, feeds…)

described in details and categorized according to - content criteria (subject area, quantity, type of resources...) - technical criteria that are relevant to their interoperability (metadata standards adopted, vocabularies used, protocols implemented)

>> Now: a web-based tool for service managers <<

The RING: a machine-readable registry

• RING data exposed as RDF and/or web services and made remotely queryable (done)

• Information collected in the RING readable and processable by machines

• Advanced services (harvesters, aggregators) can query the RING and automatically connect to the endpoints of sources that have the required thematic coverage and use the required standards, protocols, vocabularies etc.

The RING can become a registry of “service endpoints”to be queried by other systems
