What is AGRIS?
AGRIS (International System for Agricultural Science and Technology) is a global public database providing access to bibliographic information on agricultural science and technology. The database is maintained by CIARD, and its content is provided by participating institutions from all around the globe that form the network of AGRIS centers (find out more here). One of the main objectives of AGRIS is to improve the access and exchange of information serving the information-related needs of developed and developing countries on a partnership basis.
AGRIS contains over 8 million bibliographic references on agricultural research and technology & links to related data resources on the Web, like DBPedia, World Bank, Nature, FAO Fisheries and FAO Country profiles.
More specifically
AGRIS is at the same time:
A collaborative network of more than 150 institutions from 65 countries, maintained by FAO of the UN, promoting free access to agricultural information.
A multilingual bibliographic database for agricultural science, fuelled by the AGRIS network, containing records largely enhanced with AGROVOC, FAO’s multilingual thesaurus covering all areas of interest to FAO, including food, nutrition, agriculture, fisheries, forestry, environment etc.
A mash-up Web application that links the AGRIS knowledge to related Web resources using the Linked Open Data methodology to provide as much information as possible about a topic within the agricultural domain.
Opening up & enriching information on agricultural research
AGRIS’ mission is to improve the accessibility of agricultural information available on the Web by:
- Maintaining and enhancing AGRIS, a bibliographic repository for repositories related to agricultural research.
- Promoting the exchange of common standards and methodologies for bibliographic information.
- Enriching the AGRIS knowledge by linking it to other relevant resources on the Web.
AGRIS is also part of the CIARD initiative, in which CGIAR, GFAR and FAO collaborate in order to create a community for efficient knowledge sharing in agricultural research and development.
AGRIS covers the wide range of subjects related to agriculture, including forestry, animal husbandry, aquatic sciences and fisheries, human nutrition, and extension. Its content includes unique grey literature such as unpublished scientific and technical reports, theses, conference papers, government publications, and more. A growing number (around 20%) of bibliographical records have a corresponding full text document on the Web which can easily be retrieved by Google.

Displaying 86 - 90 of 9579The experience of application of space images for creation of the land use map of irrigated lands and laylands of Svetloyarsk irrigation system
The experience of space images use for creation of land use map for the terriotory of the Svetloyar irrigation system and neighboring households is considered. The investigation territory is located in the north-west area on the right bank part of Kaspian lowland (Volgograd region). The land use map reflects the actual conditions of the object and contains the information about the fields under different crops and mixed-age laylands.
ON THE QUESTION OF EROSION-DANGEROUS TERRITORIES IN THE ECOLOGICAL LAND MANAGEMENT
in the article the issues of protection of lands from erosion are considered. The need is emphasized to use of relief maps and lines characteristic of the geomorphological analysis of the territory – a morphoisograph, to identify unstable erosion-hazardous areas. The authors suggest using the method plastic of relief, previously used in landscape studies, to isolate potentially erosion-hazardous agricultural lands.
Trends of increase of land payments in the Russian Federation: example of Samara region
The article analyses the dynamics of land payments in Samara region of Volga Federal district of the Russian Federation. The aim of the study is to analyse the changes of land payments (land tax and leasehold payment) from the beginning of the land reform in the time period from 1992 to 2014, which could be divided into the following periods: formation of land payments system (1995−1998); period of slow growth of payments (1999−2002); period of rapid growth with recession and further compensation (2003−2007), and rapid sustainable growth (2008−2014).
Theory and practice improving of mathematical processing of geodetic measurements for land management and cadastre works
The article generalizes theoretical and practical addition to the components of mathematical processing of geodetic measurements, which are the basis and used to support work in land management and cadastre. The research identifies general components of mathematical processing of geodetic measurements and components which are primarily used in the field of land management and cadastre.
Improvement of geoinformation technologies on the basis of spatial data
Land management and improvement of computer technologies in land use are one of the most important tasks of the state; their effective implementation is closely linked to the widespread implementation of modern achievements of information technology. The achievement of the maximum transparency of the processes is vital in the field of geo-information and spatial data resources during increasing the reliability and manageability of the infrastructure.
