Subject: [godan_cd] Webinar recording available from first webinar as part of 
RDA/IGAD’s new Coffee Break initiative
To: GODAN Capacity Development Working Group 
<godan...@dgroups.org<mailto:godan...@dgroups.org>>



The first webinar as part of the 
RDA/IGAD<https://www.rd-alliance.org/groups/agriculture-data-interest-group-igad.html>'s
 new Coffee Break initiative took place on 16 June with more than 50 
participants. The webinar, titled Aligning AGROVOC and Ontologies to connect 
semantics to improve Agrifood data annotation and interoperability featured 
Pier Luigi Buttigieg, Helmholtz Metadata 
Collaboration<https://helmholtz-metadaten.de/en>/GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for 
Ocean Research<https://www.geomar.de/en/> and inspired great dialogue between 
the participants and presenter during the final 15-minute Q&A session.



Throughout the webinar, Pier Luigi Buttigie answered the question of whether it 
would be a good idea to semantically connect 
AGROVOC<http://www.fao.org/agrovoc/>, FAO agricultural multilingual thesaurus, 
with complementary ontologies.



“Is it worth it?” Pier Luigi said, “Yes, it is worth it, because thesauri and 
ontologies do different things, they have different jobs.”
