Work started in agINFRA on a Soil LOD Vocabulary for sharing soil data

agINFRA logo
In November GFAR published the agINFRA LOD vocabularies platform (http://vocabularies.aginfra.eu) to facilitate the publication of Linked Open Data vocabularies by the various data providers involved in the project. The agINFRA project (http://aginfra.eu) of the European Commission (EC 7th framework program INFRA-2011-1.2.2) aims at “developing a shared infrastructure and computationally empowered services for agricultural research data”.         
 
The first vocabulary on which the partners started working using this platform is the agINFRA Soil Vocabulary (http://vocabularies.aginfra.eu/soil), a first attempt to represent the INSPIRE standard for soil data in RDF. The initial version is a product of the collaboration between the Italian Consiglio per la Ricerca e la sperimentazione in Agricoltura (CRA), GFAR and FAO.
