AgroPortal is an ontology portal/repository (with periodically updated versions) dedicated to the agronomic and plant domains.

AgroPortal includes Knowledge Organisation Systems (KOS) about multiple aspect of agricultural data: technologies, breeding, food, plant phenotypes and traits, anatomy, etc. Those ontologies have been uploaded in collaboration with several driving use cases including: INRA Linked Open Vocabularies, Crop Ontology project, AgroLD project, RDA Wheat Data Interoperability Working Group, VEST/ AgroPortal Map of Standards and others.

The VEST/AgroPortal unique map of standards (and its continuation on the VEST/AgroPortal platform at agrisemantics.org) is the result of collaboration of AgroPortal team with FAO within GODAN Action (note: AgroPortal was presented at the GODAN Summit 2016).  

AgroPortal reuses the NCBO BioPortal infrastructure and customizes it.

• Browse ontologies, and review and comment on them and their components

• Create ontology-based  annotations for your own text

• Find and create relations/mappings between terms in different ontologies

• Get recommendations for the most relevant ontologies

• Link your own project that uses ontologies to the description of those ontologies

• View statistics about ontology visits

• Subscribe to the IBC AgroPortal RSS feed to receive alerts for submissions of new ontologies, new versions of ontologies, new notes, and new projects
