Presentation at Open Repositories 2014, Helsinki, Finland, June 9-13, 2014

EPrints Interest Group Presentations

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations works to provide support to agricultural information communities to build and maintain open repositories that meet recommended metadata standards and controlled vocabularies. To this end, FAO set up partnerships with organizations working in this field. The most recent work focus on the implementation of an authority tool in the submission process of Eprints Software . Its purpose is to facilitate the use of controlled vocabularies published as Linked Open Data, and the exposure of data on the Semantic Web . This project has been technically implemented by the University of Southampton in partnership with FAO, UNESCO-IOC/IODE and Hasselt University Library .
