A Very Useful Tool for PhilAgriNet Indexers

I hope PhilAgriNet members are now aware of AgroTagger, a free digital tool that would help those providing input for the PhilAgriNet and AGRIS databases.
AgroTagger is an online tool developed by the Indian Institute of Technology of Kanpur in collaboration with the FAO. The tool, which is available at this URL http://aims.fao.org/category/subject-tags/agrotagger allows the user to assign AgroVoc keywords or tags automatically. Registration (free) is needed to be able to use AgroTagger. Once registered, the user only needs to upload the pdf file to get the standard keywords. This is a very useful tool for indexers of agricultural literature.
