Construction and Reuse of Linked Agriculture Data: An Experience of Taiwan Government Open Data

This paper describes our experiences on dealing with the transformation from Traceable Agriculture Product (TAP) records to Linked Open Government Data. By using existing ontologies and vocabularies, TAP Ontology is developed for clarifying the semantics of TAP. To increase the reusability of TAP, the crops and operational processing details of TAP are mapped to Common Agricultural Vocabulary (CAVOC). There are four SPARQL end-points developed for supporting queries to TAP. To demonstrate the reuse of Linked TAP, we develop a Chrome extension LinkedFood to offer TAP information via reading ingredients in recipe websites.
