AGROVOC is a multilingual and controlled vocabulary designed to cover concepts and terminology under FAO's areas of interest. It is the largest Linked Open Data set about agriculture available for public use and its greatest impact is through providing the access and visibility of data across domains and languages.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in AGROVOC should match this regular expression:
^[a-z0-9]+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

2842   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from AGROVOC should match this regular expression:
^agrovoc:[a-z0-9]+$

Example CURIE

agrovoc:2842

Namespace Embedded in LUI

This resource has been annotated by the Bioregistry as having a potential namespace embedded in LUI. This means that you may see local unique identifiers that include a redundant prefix and delimiter (also known as a banana) and therefore look like a CURIE. For , the banana looks like c_. Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like c_2842 (instead of the canonical form 2842) and CURIEs for this resource that look like agrovoc:c_2842 (instead of the canonical form agrovoc:2842). The Bioregistry will automatically strip off the banana when standardizing local unique identifiers and CURIEs.

Mappings from records in Bioregistry to external registries comprises the metaregistry. This resource has 7 mappings to external registries with 5 unique external prefixes.

A provider turns a local unique identifiers from a resource into a URI. Many providers are also resolvable as URLs (i.e., they can be used in a web browser).

The local unique identifier 2842 is used to demonstrate the providers available for AGROVOC. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
