Using an AGROVOC-based ontology for the description of learning resources on organic agriculture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Education is a critical requirement for the development of sustainable agriculture. Learning resources available through the Web can be described with metadata for enhanced availability. The provision of semantic metadata describing these resources further facilitates retrieval and selection of resources based on richer annotations that use ontologies. This paper sketches the potential use of ontologies related to organic agriculture for the description of learning resources.
