Agrovoc terms being organized under Top Concepts

The first task was to set the BT/NT relationships for the Agrovoc Descriptors. All the descriptors, starting with those without a BT, are being assigned to one of the Top Concepts like Organisms, Substances, Activities, Subject, Phenomena, Groups, Measure and Time. About 15 such concepts are identified so far and are being refined during the course of the work.

In the process some of the non-descriptors having UF and UF+ relations are converted into descriptors and made as NTs under appropriate terms.

Each of the revised relations are being reviewed by Ms. Sini Margherita and Ms. Gudrun Johannsen of the FAO.
