Abstract |
This review examines the current status of Internet-based agricultural information services, identifies the gaps and inconsistencies, and suggests improvements to bring greater coherence to the system as a whole, in order to make it easier for those who need information to find what they are looking for. Technical options to ensure greater flexibility in mixing and matching information from different sources are explored in some detail. |
