[edit] Lead Section

This article may benefit from a brief introduction that includes a definition of AIMS, and perhaps some notes about its targeted audience, industries, disciplines, history, and broader context. See Wikipedia:Lead section for more information. Perhaps use the article on AgMES as basis for creating a lead section for this article.Tug201 16:43, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup: advert

This article has been marked as it may require style editing in the intrests of maintaining neutrality of expression. The following two examples taken from this article help to illustrate what should be avoided.

  • "now have access not only to a website"
  • "by sending a letter of intent with explicit mention of adherence to this document"

I don't think this page necessarily reads as an advert as it is a free service which is provided to Information Management Specialists specifically in the domains related to Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries, etc. The fact that people really do now have a one-stop access is a service that did not exist for this community. --Acdg 13:54, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] editing the AIMS page

We have edited this page at FAO (Food & Agriculture Organization of the U.N.), as per the advice given by the Wiki editors. There is now a clearer definition of the work, following the pattern of the AgMES page (which is also an initiative of FAO). As a fairly new and unique initiative, the AIMS clearing house is undergoing a good deal of inspection and comment; we hope its objectives (coherence through agreed standards) will be understood and adopted by our partners in the world agricultural community. Any further suggestions to improve the introduction through WIKI are greatly appreciated. --FAO, Rome 11:44, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
