FAO (OEKCS) ACTIVITIES IN OPENING ACCESS TO AR&D INFORMATION
IT-Enhanced Organic, Agro-Ecological and Environmental EducationSeptember 16-17, 2010Budapest (Hungary)
INTRODUCING MYSELF Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Office of Knowledge Exchange, Research and Extension, OEK Standards, services and tools for dissemination, sharing, archiving
and processing of information, OEKCSMultilingual vocabulariesOpen source tools and platformsContent Aggregation ServicesSupport to IKM projects in member countries
IT-Enhanced Organic, Agro-Ecological and Environmental Education. 16th-17th September 2010. Budapest (Hungary)
WHAT AM I GOING TO TALK ABOUT? Tools, standards and services related to the
agricultural management information standards With the objective of:
Encouraging public domain agricultural information widely accessible
Increasing efficiency of knowledge sharing/exchange and reduce duplication
Improving the way the institutions share and work together in the agricultural information context
IT-Enhanced Organic, Agro-Ecological and Environmental Education. 16th-17th September 2010. Budapest (Hungary)
Open Access to Scientific Information
HOW ARE WE WORKING TOWARDS OPEN ACCESS? Access to research in a digital, online, free of charge and
free of most copyright/licensing restrictionsPromoting it - Advice and Capacity DevelopmentEnsuring the metadata quality of repositories and the use of
thesauri and other forms of authority control - StandardsContributing to the development of sustainable repositories by the
use of tools to make scientific publications (and later data) more accessible and visible - Tools
Removing access barriers by encouraging the creation of new service providers based on existing and mature metadata and semantics technology - Services

Knowledge Standards“making searching simpler and more efficient”
VOCABULARIES. AGROVOC Multilingual structured thesaurus for all subject fields in agriculture,
forestry, fisheries, food and related domains Standardizes the indexing process in order to make searching simpler
and more efficient and to guide the user to the most relevant sources Used worldwide (researchers, information management specialists)
for indexing, retrieving and organizing data in agricultural information systems
30,000 concepts- 600,000 labels- 20 languages 1,000 downloads per year

EXCHANGE FORMATS. AGMES & APS AgMES (Agricultural Metadata Element Set) is an initiative that
encompasses semantic standards in the agriculture domain with respect to description, discovery, interoperability, and metadata exchange for different types of information resources Extension of Dublin Core
APs Document-like objects (AGRIS AP) Event Metadata (Ag-Events AP) Learning Resources Metadata (Ag-LR AP)
