Introduction

The Agricultural Ontology Service (AOS) workshops bring together metadata and ontology experts and researchers interested in the AOS project. The fifth AOS Workshop builds on the successes of previous workshops held in Rome, Oxford, Florida, and Copenhagen. The fifth AOS workshop will provide an opportunity for information management specialists in Asia to learn about the AOS and to strengthen partnerships in building the AOS.

The workshop focused on:

• Sharing new developments in the field of metadata and ontology, and
• Finding out how to leverage these developments in practice in agricultural information management.

The AOS workshop is organized by: the Scientech Documentation and Information Center of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (SDIC/CAAS), China and the Library and Documentation Systems Division of FAO.
