I am in the Programm Committee of this interesting conference that tries to bridge the Digital Library and Semantic Web Communities in India. My group will present two papers at the meeting.
Prof. Ping Quian from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Science asked me to write a preface to his book on Agricultural Ontologies. The book has been published under ISBN:7-80167-917-2. My preface was published in English. A copy is attached
My group got a grant from a specific program of FAO a for a joint project between FAO and the Chinese Accademy of Agricultural Science. Within this project AGROVOC will be mapped to the Chinese Agricultural Thesaurus. The lead of the project is with FAO in Rome. In Beijig a team of expert is established to do the mapping. Goal is to get deeper access to Chinese agricultural resources and to give better possibilities for Chinese speakers to access FAOs information.
This is a major achievement in the construction of the Agricultural Ontology Service
