Fwd: [agroportal-support] AgroPortal 2.0 released – synchronization with OntoPortal, tons of new content and much more

In between 2 lockdown in France, we made it happen ;)

> Dear all, 
> 
> We are pleased to announce the 2.0 release of the AgroPortal vocabulary and ontology repository:
> http://agroportal.lirmm.fr/ <http://agroportal.lirmm.fr/>
> From a technical perspective:
> AgroPortal is now based on OntoPortal 3.0 <https://ontoportal.org/ontoportal-virtual-appliance-release-3-0-is-here/>. The OntoPortal Alliance is the community effort of organizations reusing the original NCBO BioPortal software.  
> AgroPortal specific features (mappings, metadata model and visualization, cf. previous notes, etc.) have been merged in OntoPortal 3.0 code in our own LIRMM’s branches.
> Code developed at LIRMM for AgroPortal and the SIFR BioPortal is now hosted at: https://github.com/ontoportal-lirmm <https://github.com/ontoportal-lirmm> 
> Side projects, community feedback, issues is still on AgroPortal’s GitHub: https://github.com/agroportal <https://github.com/agroportal> 
> This release includes significantly changed user interfaces, more responsive and user friendly. We also fixed the BioMixer plugin and the graph visualization tabs are now working when browsing a class.
> For other fixes and features, you can also check BioPortal release notes <https://www.bioontology.org/wiki/BioPortal_Release_Notes>. We congrat and acknowledge our collaborators at Stanford BMIR for all this work!
> AgroPortal Annotator now includes the latest version of the FastContext <https://github.com/jianlins/FastContext> algorithm used to contextualize textual annotation. This feature has been mainly developed for biomedicine, but could be relevant for other contexts too. 
> 
> From a community/content perspective: 
> AgroPortal now hosts 128 semantic resources. Many new ontologies, thesauri and other semantic resources have been uploaded in the last 3 years, either by us or directly by external users. Around half of these resources are exclusively hosted on AgroPortal.  
> Fixed ontology metrics for all the semantic resources: the portal now counts 2,627,105 classes (mostly owl:Classes, not distinct) and 2,170,609 individuals (mostly skos:Concept).
> We have generated, extracted and analyzed more than 400,000 mappings between concepts based on term reuse, term overlap and declared mappings in AgroPortal ontologies (EKAW 2020 paper <https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/lirmm-02945172/>). Eventually such analysis will be automatically done in AgroPortal.
> We have investigated one million XRefs in 30 ontologies from the OBO world stored in AgroPortal and provided recommendations to mitigate issues (ICBO 2020 paper <https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/lirmm-02945170/>).  
> Semantic resources include: 23 ontologies selected from the OBO Foundry registry, 30 semantic resources provided by INRAE (for which AgroPortal plays role of reference server), all the ontologies/trait dictionaries from the Crop Ontology project, and much more.
> AGROVOC is now back, sorry for the inconvenience!
