Knowledge organization• Article 1 of FAO’s Constitution:
– “The Organization shall collect, analyse, interpret and disseminate information relating to nutrition, food and agriculture”
• FAO experts’ knowledge network:– Agronomists, foresters, fisheries and livestock specialists, nutritionists,
economists, statisticians, ICT and IM professionals.
• FAO Internet knowledge in numbers:– 2.3 million monthly visits– 3 million web pages, 100 000 documents, hundreds of DBs and
information systems

FAO Country Profiles
• launched in 2002• a fast and reliable way to access country-
specific information produced by FAO from a single entry point
• Data sources: FAO, FAO-partnership and non-FAO
• Average 250,000 monthly visits

FAO Country Profiles in LOD
• Contributes to the LOD cloud with a Resource Description Framework (RDF) version of FAO’s country-based reference data
• Exploits the LOD resources to provide enhanced country profiles in Food and Agriculture.
• Exposes FAO Country Profiles data in RDFa to improve search and reuse

Contribute to the LOD cloud
• Embracing the W3C LOD initiatives• Releasing the FAO geopolitical ontology in
RDF format

FAO geopolitical ontology
• A mechanism to describe, manage and exchange data related to geopolitical entities
• provide the most updated geopolitical information (names, codes, statistics, historical changes, and so on)
• Associated services– Module maker – Web Services
• Various use cases inside and outside FAO

Exploit LOD resources
• Exploring LOD’s large and interoperable information base
• Integrating appropriate LOD resources into FAO Country Profiles– Covering most of countries – Updating in regular basis– Providing RDF representation– Including interesting content in the context of
FAO Country Profiles

Global Hunger Index (GHI)
• A multidimensional overview of global hunger

Global Hunger Index dataset in LOD
• Modeled in a RDF data Cube multi-measure model
• Provides the GHI of about 130 countries • Identified with ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country
code• URIs containing year and ISO 3166-1 alpha-2
country code (i.e. GHI of India in 2010 http://data.ifpri.org/rdf/ghi/2010/qb/#observation-2010-IN)

Expose FAO Country Profiles data in RDFa
• Embedding RDF triples within FAO Country Profiles pages
• Examples:– Describing country official name in the selected
language (rdf:label)– Linking to FAO geopolitical ontology (owl:sameAs)– Mapping AGROVOC keywords (skos:closeMatch)

Next steps
• Continue to provide high quality country information
• Add more LOD resources• Include the FAO geopolitical ontology in the
LOD cloud • Expand the FAO geopolitical ontology with
more data• Provide a SPARQL end-point
