This group brings together research organisations and individuals to answer the question “How do we present livestock data in a consistent manner?”.
The group is interested in the use of standard vocabularies or ontologies to help classify and organise livestock data to ensure it is findable and reusable. This is a collective effort aimed at identifying common goals and mapping out strategic joint activities. The group is open to anyone with an interest in exploring and building livestock vocabularies and ontologies.
Current aims:
Address the challenge of inconsistent terms
Make use of existing vocabularies and ontologies
Find ways to map and link ontologies, and highlight gaps
The Livestock Fact Check project digs into the evidence behind popular facts about livestock, to discover whether those facts are accurate and up to date.
