• We wanted to make a semantic web tool
from AGROVOC
• There was no standard model outside, we
were on our own
• We discussed three years the model to
which we wanted to convert AGROVOC
……but in the meantime AGROVOC was
used and translated into 20 languages
AGROVOC since 2004

The AGROVOC OWL model needs a revision
Ontological over commitment in many class/subclass hierarchies
Unnecessary complications through concept /term/string hierarchy
Our push of AGROVOC to the Semantic Web had enormous positive effects, among others
From 4 to 20 language versions
Defacto standard for indexing in many areas
More than 2000 downloads only in 2009
SKOS incorporated all our requirements
Evaluation of the Process

The road map
• The AGROVOC concept scheme in it’s
proprietary OWL model will be published on
June 5, 2010 on version 1.0 of the concept
server workbench
• Within Summer 2010 a patch to version 1.0 of
the workbench will make it possible to export
AGROVOC SKOS
• AGROVOC SKOS will be published as linked
data.
• With version 2.0 of the workbench SKOS will
become the native format for AGROVOC
