Interlinking two institutional KOS about Agroecology: using LOD Agrovoc to circumvent the language barrier in identifying terminological intersections
1 like653 views
The document discusses the integration of vocabularies related to agroecology between French (Vocinra) and Brazilian Portuguese (Embrapa) using Linked Open Data (LOD). It highlights the methodologies for aligning terminologies, the challenges in translation, and the contribution of these vocabularies to broader agricultural initiatives. The alignment aims to enhance knowledge sharing and improve multilingual agricultural vocabulary precepts.

Knowledge Organization System subsets: • INRA: 3,140 French terms from VocINRA used to manually index 2,145 publications about Agroecology in the institutional repository ProdINRA; • Embrapa : semi-automatic term extraction from 260 full papers about Agroecology and a term matching using a specific tool (Pierozzi Júnior et al., 2014) towards Thesagro (a Brazilian Portuguese thesaurus) and Agrovoc-PT. Alignment • Onagui (Mazuel and Charlet, 2010), an open source tool designed to help alignment of vocabularies in SKOS or OWL, was used to align the VocINRA concepts with those in Agrovoc. •The exact match relation between Thesagro and Agrovoc-PT and was used to build the final Embrapa term subset. • Agrovoc LOD allows (1) the identification of common terms used for the two institutions and (2) a set of specific terms in each language that might be incorporated into each other’s vocabularies;. • This work also highlights some difficulties in the translation of certain terms in Agrovoc which will improve this multilingual vocabulary; • The alignment between the INRA and Embrapa vocabularies prepares these two vocabularies to be linked when published in LOD; • This conciliatory methodological model can be strengthened and systematized so that Embrapa and INRA can consider their contribution to broader initiatives in the agricultural domain like the project for a Global Agricultural Concept Scheme (Baker and Suominen, 2014).
