Ms. Gudrun Johannsen's visit to ICRISAT made the month very eventful for ICRISAT's AGROVOC team. Gudrun Johannsen - Senior Information Specialist, FAO, has been working on the AGROVOC Thesaurus since 1990, and also participated in its translation into German. Currently she is responsible for the content management of AGROVOC.
Ms. Gudrun has been at ICRISAT to guide the team in finalizing the BT/NT relationships, particularly the genetics and plant breeding terms. She has been adding useful information resources to an already long list of thesauri including the NAL thesaurus, GEMET thesaurus,the Biocomplexity thesaurus, FAOTERM, the MeSH browser and the all inclusive World Bank Thesaurus. (It never denies!)
We see her going patiently and passionately through each of the resources till she finds a convincing definition or explanation. It was an inspiring and instructional interaction for us and this would not have been possible through e-mails or skype conferences.
