The aim of the Special Session on "Agricultural Metadata and Semantics" is to bring together researchers and practitioners that are working on agricultural knowledge production, organization, and exchange from a Semantic Web perspective.

It aims to serve as a discussion forum where interested experts will present the results of their work, also establishing liaisons between different groups that are working on related subjects. In addition, it aims to outline the rich potential of the agricultural knowledge domain as an application field for advanced metadata- and semantic-driven systems and services.
