In a presentation given at Mann Library in May 2011, FAO’s Dr. Johannes Keizer reviews some of the work of the Coherence in Information for Agricultural Research for Development (CIARD) initiative to make agricultural research information publicly available and accessible to all. This includes collaborating with numerous international organizations to make distributed data and information repositories interoperable.
