AGROVOC Use cases
The FAO issued in June 2021 a call for use cases about the adoption and use of its AGROVOC multilingual thesaurus. According to the contributions received, some of the most common benefits coming from the use of AGROVOC are: the multilingualism and the availability of labels in multiple languages; the indexing of scientific productions that increases their visibility; and the use of AGROVOC as a reference for the standardization of terms improving data findability.
International organizations from Nepal, Germany, Senegal, Indonesia, Russia, Brazil, and Kenya submitted their cases, introduced their institution, explained how they use AGROVOC, highlighting the benefits for their organization and for their work.
