Ricevo dalla FAO un invito a partecipare alla realizzazione di un vocabolario agricolo universale:
Dear AGROVOC Downloaders,
Please find attached an announcement of the E-Conference. We invite you to
join the list and give your valuable feedback and suggestions. We also look
forward to learning from you how you have been using AGROVOC, in which
formats and how we can further improve the contents and our services.
Thank you,
** Background **
The AGROVOC Thesaurus was developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization
of the United Nations (FAO) and the Commission of the European Communities
(CEC), in the early 1980s. AGROVOC is the foundation that underpins the
development of the Concept Server (CS) project. Using the knowledge contained
in vocabulary systems and thesauri such as AGROVOC, the CS will be able to
develop specialized domain-specific terminologies and concepts that will
better support information management in the Web environment. A key objective
is to add more semantics to the thesaurus, for example, by expanding and
better specifying the relationships between concepts.
In light of new developments and the need to understand the user
requirements, FAO is organizing an AGROVOC E-Conference. The outcomes of the
conference will be discussed in the Eighth Agricultural Ontology Service
Workshop to be held in September of this year.
The aim of this conference is to bring AGROVOC users together to share what
they would like to see improved in AGROVOC and the direction it should take.
The E-Conference will allow people from all the different corners of the
world, who otherwise might not be able to travel to regular meetings on
AGROVOC, to voice their ideas and thoughts for the betterment of AGROVOC. The
ultimate goal of the conference is to assess the direction the work on
development of AGROVOC as a thesaurus and a concept server should take.
** Agenda **
Following agenda will be used to facilitate the discussions during the
Conference.
* Phase 1 -- 2-4 May 2007: Introductions, stage setting
* Phase 2 -- 7-18 May 2007: AGROVOC Services and functionalities
* Phase 3 -- 21 May - 1 June 2007: AGROVOC content and multilinguality
management
* Phase 4 -- 4 - 15 June 2007: Community building
* Phase 5 -- 18 - 29 June 2007: AOS workbench
Contributions on each phase close on the last day of the phase. Each session
will be followed by a short report documenting the major ideas and
contributions from the email exchange. A final report will be issued after
the conference.
** How to participate? **
The E-Conference is open to all interested members of the community. A
time-based mailing list has been set-up. You can join the list by entering
