This paper presents an ontology-driven approach for implementing Linked Open Data services for scholarly and research artifacts, to facilitate the dissemination of research results. The resulting ontology and the associated metadata Application Profile, built upon the Singapore Framework for Dublin Core Application Profiles, have been used to enable the development of interoperable systems and services for the research community in the agriculture and aquaculture domains. The paper describes the implementation approach for the AgRes ontology, the ontology itself as well as the interoperability levels of the AgRes application profile. Furthermore, it outlines the creation and the management of the ontology with the MoKi collaborative Media Wiki-based tool.
