Agricultural Information Management Standards Web site • The specific goals of the site are: • to establish a network of partners who adhere and agree to the primary goal of the initiative "to provide one-stop and free access to information management approaches and tools", • to bring together information about currently available standards (such as thesauri, classification schemes, metadata sets, ontologies, controlled vocabularies) used in management of Agricultural Information, • to encourage the re-use of these standards to facilitate interoperability between information systems, • to increase awareness of these freely available resources, • to promote sharing of good practice examples, and • to provide channels for communication between different actors in the community.
