The Platform for Big Data and the digital future of CGIAR December 29, 2021 The CGIAR Platform for Big Data in Agriculture is coming to the end of its cycle. Here are some important proof-points looking back over the Platform's start in 2017. New webpage featuring the most used ontologies in the agri-food domain December 3, 2021 The Ontologies Community of Practice has developed a webpage providing at a glance the most popular ontologies in the agri-food domain along with the ontologies developed by CGIAR and its partners. Big data and agricultural research: Results of online survey for CAS Secretariat commissioned independent evaluation November 23, 2021 The CGIAR Advisory Services Shared Secretariat (CAS Secretariat), in line with its mandate and 2021 workplan, commissioned an independent evaluation team of subject matter experts to evaluate the work of the Platform between 2017 and mid-2021. While the evaluation is still ongoing, some preliminary survey results are already available to Webinar – Labelled property graphs, Web Ontology Language, and WebProtégé September 9, 2021 This webinar by the Ontologies Community of Practice presents work on making WebProtégé compatible with a labelled property graph representation of Web Ontology Language ontologies. Webinar – Governance operational model for ontologies (GOMO) August 9, 2021 This webinar by the Ontologies Community of Practice presents the governance operational model for ontologies (GOMO) which establishes an agile governance model for BASF ontologies.
