agINFRA - Background
• agINFRA: FP7 project EC 7th framework program INFRA-2011-1.2.2 - Grant agr. no: 283770
Objective: Promoting data sharing and development of trust in agricultural sciences
• agINFRA Knowledge Fair co-located with the Agricultural Data Interoperability Interest group meeting at the RDA 4th Plenary Meeting
• Types of data covered by agINFRA:bibliographic, educational, germplasm, soil
Interoperability 1
They are often both called vocabularies
Metadata elements to describe individual “things” (entities, datums, series…)
Aka metadata sets, metadata element sets, vocabularies
Sets of values for (some of) the metadata elements
Aka controlled vocabularies, authority data, value vocabularies, Knowledge Organization Systems (KOSs)
Various flavors of vocabularies

Rationale: • CRA had local lists of values for several soil
properties• In most cases those values mapped
conceptually with terms in published KOSs Local values published as new KOS with mappings to USDA Soil Taxonomy terms and/or WRB whenever possible
Soil Terms: starting from a database table Excel file
Table loaded into the VocBench as SKOS
Example 2: Resource types in AGRISStarting from a table
