<span style="color:black">The first webinar as part of the <a href="https://www.rd-alliance.org/groups/agriculture-data-interest-group-igad.html" target="_blank">
RDA/IGAD</a>'s new Coffee Break initiative took place on <strong>16 June </strong>
with more than 50 participants. The webinar, titled <strong><i>Aligning AGROVOC and Ontologies to connect semantics to improve Agrifood data annotation and interoperability</i></strong> featured Pier Luigi Buttigieg,
<a href="https://helmholtz-metadaten.de/en" target="_blank">Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration</a>/<a href="https://www.geomar.de/en/" target="_blank">GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research</a> and inspired great dialogue between the participants and presenter

<span style="color:black">Throughout the webinar, Pier Luigi Buttigie answered the question of whether it would be a good idea to semantically connect
<a href="http://www.fao.org/agrovoc/" target="_blank">AGROVOC</a>, FAO agricultural multilingual thesaurus, with complementary ontologies. </span><u></u><u></u></p>

<em><span style="color:black">“Is it worth it?” Pier Luigi said, “Yes, it is worth it, because thesauri and ontologies do different things, they have different jobs.”</span></em><u></u><u></u></p>
