What are your domain(s) of expertise?

Information management, Metadata, Knowledge management, Semantic web

What is your relationship with agricultural information management standards, tools and services?

I am an Information Scientist working with an Agricultural research organization (World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF)). We are currently working towards standardizing our keywords in our institutional repository with an aim of eventually publishing them as linked data. We would like to use AGROVOC Multilingual Thesaurus to reconcile our keywords with AGROVOC terms before publishing our data as linked data. We migrated our repository from Imagic library system to Koha (MARC format) and among the tools we have been using are MarcEdit for data migration and OpenRefine for metadata cleanup.
