The AgroPortal project (<a href="http://agroportal.lirmm.fr">http://agroportal.lirmm.fr</a>) develops and supports a reference ontology repository for agronomy, plant sciences, biodiversity and nutrition. We have already designed and implemented an advanced prototype offering ontology-based services that hosts 64 ontologies or vocabularies including some reference resources in the domain: Agrovoc, NAL thesaurus, Crop Ontology, etc. One of the challenges when dealing with multiple ontologies is to determine their overlap and align them.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>We are offering a postdoc position to develop ontology mapping capabilities to align AgroPortal ontologies and participate into the international Global Agricultural Concept Scheme (GACS) project. With the experience and technology developed with the YAM++ application (LIRMM’s ontology alignment matcher), we will make AgroPortal a state-of-the-art platform for mapping extraction, generation, validation, evaluation, storage and retrieval by adopting a complete semantic web and linked open data approach and engaging the community for curation. We will first focus on the ontologies of the Montpellier community (agronomy, food, biodiversity) and then join the GACS project (integration of Agrovoc, NALt & CABt) in partnership with RDA AgriSemantics working group.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US>More detail here</span></b><span lang=EN-US>: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><a href="http://www.lirmm.fr/sifr/positions/2017_NUMEV-Lingua_postdoc_position.pdf">http://www.lirmm.fr/sifr/positions/2017_NUMEV-Lingua_postdoc_position.pdf</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>or <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><a href="http://www.lirmm.fr/sifr/positions/2017_NUMEV-Lingua_postdoc_position.html">http://www.lirmm.fr/sifr/positions/2017_NUMEV-Lingua_postdoc_position.html</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Please, consider transferring the job description in your labs and networks.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best regards<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Clement <o:p></o:p></p><div style='border:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0cm 0cm 1.0pt 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Dr. <b>Clement JONQUET</b> - <i>PhD in Informatics - Assistant Professor<br>University of Montpellier<o:p></o:p></i></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US>Coordinator of the <a href="http://www.lirmm.fr/sifr/"><span style='color:blue'>SIFR</span></a> and <a href="http://agroportal.lirmm.fr/"><span style='color:blue'>AgroPortal</span></a> projects<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US>Visiting scholar, Stanford University (EU Marie Curie fellow)<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><a href="mailto:jonquet@lirmm.fr"><span style='color:blue'>jonquet@lirmm.fr</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><a href="http://www.lirmm.fr/~jonquet"><span style='color:blue'>http://www.lirmm.fr/~jonquet</span></a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>@Montpellier : +33/4 67 14 97 43<o:p></o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0cm 0cm 1.0pt 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>@Stanford : +1 650 723 6725<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
