A semantic marathon!


Concepts in AGROVOC are all interrelated owing to the multidisciplinary nature of the subjects it addresses. Fixing them in rigid hierarchies is by no means totally convincing. Nevertheless, some kind of mapping concepts into a more semantic structure is required in the wake of new technologies.

Before embarking on the task, some hierarchies in AGROVOC are studied to feel the tips of the iceberg.
After this, hierarchies of each top term, i.e. terms without ant BT relation are studied alphabetically.
