I would like to use the AGROVOC Web services for my application. How to proceed? First of all, you need to decide whether the web services are the solution for you. Remember that AGROVOC is also available for download and for access through its SPARQL endpoint. We actually recommend the use of the SPARQL endpoint. If you decide for the web services, and you are reading these FAQ, then you should probably liaise with your IT reference person and study the practical possibility for inclusion of them in your application.
