The document summarizes a talk given by Dr. Johannes Keizer on the CIARD (Coherence in Information for Agricultural Research for development) initiative and a global infrastructure for linked open data (LOD). The CIARD initiative aims to provide open access to agricultural research by promoting standards and sharing information. It involves institutions contributing their research outputs through the CIARD RING and adopting standards. The infrastructure proposed includes distributed repositories linked through vocabularies and LOD. Tools are being developed to generate LOD and link datasets through shared concepts.

- 2. We will promote research for food and agriculture, including research to adapt to, and mitigate climate change, and access to research results and technologies at national, regional and international levels. We will reinvigorate national research systems and will share information and best practices. We will improve access to knowledge.worldfoodsummit 2009

- 38. If all institutions, which publish about toxic wastes would:- Index their publications with URIs from AGROVOC,GEMET, NALT, LCSH or EUROVOC
- 39. (many do – low hanging fruit!)
- 40. - Publish their metadata as LOD
- 41. (quite easy to do, bibData map well to RDFThenEveryone who knows to write SparqlQeries could get all these publications with one shot for a new website on toxic wastes
- 42. Vocabularies and LODSimply publishing your data as RDF does not link them to other data sets Creating this links by humans is interesting in detail, but unrealistic as mass processingLinking 2 standard vocabularies can link 200 datasets which use these standard vocabularies

URIs is to keep it short. www.udcc.org/udcclass_631.1/50900 seems a bit long.Then it might be interesting to use "class" somewhere, if you're going to release entities with a different type one day.On the most difficult issue, class numbers vs. DB identifiers. Probably you will have to create both, if you want to intercept these cases where concepts have changed class number.…………

Editor's Notes
- #16: Whatdoesthismean in practice? I will show thiswithanexamplefrom the BBC. The biggestconsumers (and producers) of LOD are as I know the BBC and the New York times (Butnowalso the US government)
- #17: During the Web 1.0 phase, Webpageswerecomposedbyhumans. Todaymostwebpages are drivenbydatabasesthat can bedynamicallyqueried. Theycontainthrough RSS feedsalso data fromotherwebsitesThis BBC webpageis a big jumpfurther. I hasnotbeencomposedbyhumans and itisnotfromone database generated. Itisgeneratedfromdifferentdatasourcesthatwerepresentaslinked open data, linkedonlythrough common URIs
- #21: Ifresources are marked up withsemanticallydefined and machinereadableconcepts, they can belinked and mashed up preciselyaswehaveseen in the examplefrom the BBC.In thisexamplewe start withan AGRIS record on Hazardouswaste, whichisindexedwith AGROVOC. Alreadynowwe can easily link to material indexedwithEurovoc, hereanexamplefromEuroLex. If the UNBIS thesaurus wouldberestructuredto a conceptscheme and publishedas LOD, related UN documentscouldbeattachedautomaticallyby the machine.

- #25: How does this work: A resource is connected with each concept URI in the web. The concepts between three vocabularies are having same literal which is connected with owl:sameAS/exactMatch relationship. As we are speakingaboutthesauri and notontologieswekept the relation tobechosenpurposelyvague. The conceptscouldbematchedwithowl:sameAS or the termscouldbematcheswith SKOS:exactMatch. A lotofdiscussion on thisisongoing
