AgroLD is a RDF knowledge base that consists of data integrated from a variety of plant resources and ontologies. The aim of the Agronomic Linked Data (AgroLD) project is to provide a portal for bioinformatics and domain experts to exploit the homogenized data models towards efficiently generating research hypotheses.

Crop Ontology is a service of the Integrated Breeding Platform, and targets agricultural data annotation. The project is led by Bioversity International in collaboration with the CGIAR and other partners. Crop Ontology centralizes concepts defined by breeders to annotate their data egarding germplasm, phenotypes, trial location, environment and design, plant anatomy, and plant development.

This VEST-AgroPortal provides a global map of existing vocabularies for the exchange of data in the field of food and agriculture. The directory is the result of the merging of records from two different sources: the VEST Registry (a registry of vocabularies of all types and all formats) and the AgroPortal (a repository of ontologies).
