Since 2014, > this priority has gaining momentum with the Global Open Data in Agriculture > and Nutrition initiative (GODAN). Typical small and medium-size > institutions have to deal with constrained resources, which often hamper > their possibilities for making their data publicly available. Keizer and > Caracciolo will provide an overview of bottlenecks that institutions > typically face when entering the world of open and linked data, and will > provide recommendations on how to proceed. They will also discuss the use > of standard and linked vocabularies to produce linked data, especially in > the area of agriculture. They will describe AGRISAs, a web-based resource > linking agricultural datasets as an example of linked data application > resulting from the collaboration of small institutions. They will also > mention AgriDrupal, a Drupal distribution that supports the production and > consumption of linked datasets. This webinar will be of interest to any > institution seeking ways to publish and curate data in the Linked Data > World. > > *Redux: This is an update of a webinar first presented in 2013*. > > *ABOUT THE PRESENTERS:* > > *Johannes Keizer *has worked for the Food and Agriculture Organization of > the UN since 1998, primarily as head of the FAO documentation group.
