Liang, Anita and Sini, Margherita Mapping AGROVOC and the Chinese Agricultural Thesaurus: Definitions, tools, procedures. New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia, 2006. [Journal article (Print/Paginated)]
This paper describes the procedures for a concept-based mapping of two agricultural thesauri, the multilingual AGROVOC, created and maintained by the Food and Agricultural Organization, and the bilingual Chinese Agricultural Thesaurus, created and maintained by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Science. Conducted under the auspices of FAO’s Agricultural Ontology Service, the mapping project aims to extend AGROVOC with an additional set of perspectives on the agricultural domains, enrich its domain and language coverage, and to make use of AGROVOC as a common data model for data exchange among a wide range of multilingual repositories within agriculture.
