4. CIARD – a global movement
• All organizations that create and
To make
possesss public agricultural
agricultural research information disseminate
research and share it more widely
information • CIARD partners create coherence
and by a) coordinating their efforts, b)
knowledge promoting common formats, c)
truly acessible adopting open systems and
to all standards
• Create a global network of public
collections of data and information

26. Questions to the RING
Which data sources on topic x make data
available with Dublin Core metadata and
Agrovoc concepts?
Which data sources don't use Agrovoc but
have records to which Agrovoc concepts can
be assigned?
In which languages are data in these data
sources?
Which services/APIs can extract keywords in
these languages and add Agrovoc URIs?
