The document discusses efforts to harmonize metadata application profiles for agricultural learning repositories. It describes the Agricultural Learning Repositories Task Force initiative which aims to connect stakeholders and promote sharing of learning resources. The Task Force has undertaken various activities including building a community, creating an inventory of repositories, publishing best practice recommendations, and demonstrating federated searching across repositories. An evaluation of existing application profiles resulted in guidelines to help standardize metadata and ensure interoperability.
