....some Analysis

Mechanisms Political awareness and institutional
readiness• CIARD http://www.ciard.net
Community of practice and collaboration platform• AIMS (http://aims.fao.org)
Implementation mechanisms• Collaborations with other institutions
• Funded projects

Elements for an information infrastructure
RINGroutemap to information
nodes and gateways
ToolsLOD
enabled software
VocabServerVocBench
concepts and entities triples
LOD Generator
triplifier, concept and entity
identifier
Data Services
Portals,Webservices + APIs to triple stores
Cloud
storage for RDF triples
johannes keizerhttp://aims.fao.org
What has been done sofar?
• A lot!• Vocbench 1.0 in production• AGROVOC extensively mapped• AGROVOC and AGROVOC
mappings published as linked open data
• AGROVOC URI delivered through efficient web services
• Vocbench 2.0 nearly released• UALS possible
DemoAGROVOC LODhttp://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_7825
VocBenchhttp://202.73.13.50:55481/vocbenchv1.3i/
johannes keizerhttp://aims.fao.org
To do!
• A lot!• Vocbench 2.0 nearly
released• United Agricultural
Language System is possible
johannes keizerhttp://aims.fao.org
What has been done sofar?
• Something!• RING concept embraced by
CIARD and GFAR• ring.ciard.net active as a registry
of 365 resources from 145 providers
• RDF backbone in place•
RINGroutemap to information

To do......
A lot• Make it a machine
readable switchboard to access data!
RINGroutemap to information
nodes and gateways
johannes keizerhttp://aims.fao.org
What has been done sofar?
• Something!• Agridrupal : creating semantically
rich web applications• AgriOceanDspace: creating
semantically rich repositories• Tools needed for other than
textual data• Cloudservices needed for data
processing
ToolsLOD
enabled software

johannes keizerhttp://aims.fao.org
What has been done sofar?
• Experiments!• Experiments ongoing using
• Different triple stores• agINFRA grid services• Commercial cloud services
• Efficient systems for secure storage and processing of very large triple bases in a flexible environment
•
Cloud
storage for RDF triples
johannes keizerhttp://aims.fao.org
What has been done sofar?
• Something!• “openAGRIS” released and in
continuous development• Some other platforms (VOA3R,
organic Edunet, Science Gateway from AgINFRA partners)
• Set of APIS and webservices that work on agINFRA triple stores
•
Data Services
Portals, Webservices + APIs to triple stores

What has been done sofar?
• Experiments!• Experiments ongoing using
• Automatic annotation of unstructured web material with AGROVOC URIs
• Development of wrappers for unstructured and semistructured web applications
• Set of wrappers for widely used wikis, cms, etc on the Internet
• “openCalais like services to annotate unstructured material from the web

agINFRA aims not to build one Infrastructure, but to facilitate many infrastructures,
or better to create elements for interoperable infrastructures
