Towards Linked Agricultural MetaData: Directions of the agINFRA Project

The agINFRA project focuses on the production of interoperable data in agriculture, starting from the vocabularies and KOS used to classify and annotate them. In this paper we report on our first steps in the direction of contributing to a LOD of agricultural data. In particular we look at germplasm data and soil data, which are still widely missing from the LOD landscape, seemingly because information managers in this field are still not very familiar with LOD practices. This is why this paper also recaps the basics of LOD publishing, which will be applied in the agINFRA project.
