The use of keywords is crucial for the description, organization, indexing, retrieval and sharing of research in every scientific field and agriculture is not excluded. However, manual annotation of research outcomes is time-consuming and error-prone so automatic methods for metadata annotation are always explored. AgroTagger is one of the tools facilitating the work of information and knowledge managers (among others) in the agri-food sector, by applying text-mining on top of agri-food research outcomes.
“Absolutely!” is the answer that AgroKnow will give you. And they can prove it! AgroKnow is one of the partners in the OpenMinTeD projects who are already very active in projects which apply text mining technologies to the agricultural sector.
