Technical notes

Special instructions for getting data from this service:

This application provides a simple search box into which a user can type a query to search the entire repository. A 'Search Assistant' allows for more sophisticated searches. The search results provide metadata (title, author, abstract, publisher, etc.) of bibliographic references and, where available, a link to the full-text document. Additionally, a Google search for the full text document of a bibliographic record can be executed.

The triple store behind it provides a SPARQL engine at http://202.45.139.84:10035/catalogs/fao/repositories/agris (you can append ?query= plus your URL-encoded SPARQL query.
