Food Safety• International Portal on Food Safety, Animal &
Plant Health • a domain ontology for food safety, animal
health, and plant health of 1600 concepts in English
• Starting from the AGROVOC Thesaurus and specific terminology from web sites and documents
• Ontology was modeled using the KAON tools.• http://www.ipfsaph.org/

FisheriesGoal
• Making information interchangeable between ASFA, FIGIS, OneFish and AGROVOC
Approach
• Creating an ontology, integrating or mapping the 3 different systems + AGROVOC
• Linking of the Ontology through wrappers to the different Information Systems
• 25000 concepts – English

Fisheries

Fisheries
“navire de pêche”, “fishing
vessel”, “embarcaciones
de pesca”
AGROVOC or ASFA or
other“fishing vessels,”
“fishing boat,”
AGROVOC: “ships”ASFA: “fishing
vessels”

String based search

http://www.fao.org/aims/
Closer look at the results
Concept-based search- Did you mean vessels (fishing) or vessels (blood)?
Gauri Salokhe, FAO
http://www.fao.org/aims/
Example• “Japanese fishing vessel”
– The system searches for documents related to Japan and fishing vessel
– If 0 results are retrieved, the system searches for Asia and fishing vessel
Japan
Asia

Food Nutrition and Agriculture Journal• Bibliographical Metadata Ontology: 14 ‘metadata’
concepts + 1800 instances – 3 languages• ontology was created, as follows:
– A “meta”-metadata ontology was created containing relationships between resource attributes such as title, author, keyword.
– Metadata from 2 different sources combined and converted to RDF.
• use existing semantic relationships between, for example, author and keyword, that are not normally exploited in bibliographic databases allowed for more meaningful and hence user-friendly browse experiences.

Crop-biosecurity Ontology

http://www.fao.org/aims/
Crop-biosecurity Ontology• Cataloguing existing training resources and searching by
ontology. • Ontology
– 215 concepts related to Crop-bioscurity
– ~100 properties that relate the concepts to each other
• Training material are instances of the ontology• Metadata created by merging NAL, AgNIC, E-extension
and Extension Disaster Education Network (EDEN)• Contact: Howard Beck {[email protected]}• http://www.minuetto.net/soonho/cropbiosecurity/web4

ViVo: Virtual Life Sciences Library • information about courses, genomics services,
faculty, departments, undergraduate majors, graduate fields --- anything related to the Life Sciences at Cornell.
• Underlying architecture is an ontology
