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.

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

Example Local Unique Identifier

2842   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Agronomy Vocabulary 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 Agronomy Vocabulary, 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.
