CIARD – Linked Open Data Infrastructure, Ithaca 2011, May 12

We will promote research for food and agriculture, including research to

adapt to, and mitigate climate change, and access to research results and

technologies at national, regional and international levels.

We will reinvigorate national research systems and will share information

and best practices. We will improve access to knowledge.

If all institutions, which publish about toxic wastes would:- - Index their publications with URIs

from AGROVOC,GEMET, NALT, LCSH or EUROVOC

- (many do – low hanging fruit!)- - Publish their metadata as LOD- (quite easy to do, bibData map well to

RDF

ThenEveryone who knows to write Sparql Qeries could get all these publications with one shot for a new website on toxic wastes

Vocabularies and LOD

Simply publishing your data as RDF does not link them to other data sets

Creating this links by humans is interesting in detail, but unrealistic as mass processing

Linking 2 standard vocabularies can link 200 datasets which use these standard vocabularies

Aida, Stefano,…..Of course the first hints re. URIs is to keep it short. www.udcc.org/udcclass_631.1/50900 seems a bit long.Then it might be interesting to use "class" somewhere, if you're going to release entities with a different type one day.

On the most difficult issue, class numbers vs. DB identifiers. Probably you will have to create both, if you want to intercept these cases where concepts have changed class number.…………
