The United Nations' Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) provides a large number of semantic assets for agriculture-related domains.
In its "Agricultural Information Management Standards", the organisation lists these Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS) which are partly the FAO'S own developments and partly refer to information provided by external institutions.
The resources accessible through the repository cover a wide spectrum of issues and specific uses. This is reflected by the variation of data models. They comprise application profiles, authority files/lists, classification schemes/systems, concept maps, controlled lists, dictionaries, Document Type Definitions, fact sheets, gazetteers, glossaries, lexical databases, metadata schemas, ontologies, reference tables, subject headings, taxonomies, terminology databases, thesauri, topic maps/trees and encyclopedias.
The repository of KOS in agriculture and agriculture-related domains is available in English, French, Spanish, Arabic and Chinese.
The "Agricultural Information Management Standards" are now listed as a SEMIC.EU related repository, the first associated resource of this kind to address a specific domain.
