We'll be able to review and import these terms in early January. And I'll resolve the duplicate shortly!

Thanks!

I've created a google doc to track curation progress on these terms. Starting work on it now.

Question for you: should "navel orange" be entered into FoodON as a reference to the organism as a whole, i.e. what FoodOn would label "navel orange tree", or do you want it to point to what is basically the most primitive food product, i.e. "navel orange (whole, raw)" ? This distinction exists for most plant food products. Semantically, usually the latter is intended I think.

p.s. blue cheese duplicate resolve in current foodon draft.

About dairy cattle, dairy cow: FoodOn would have separate entries for each of these, especially if "dairy cattle" is meant to include bulls. If "dairy cattle" is all female then it would be listed as a plural synonym of dairy cow. So are bulls part of the picture? Otherwise we should indicate "all female dairy cattle" in term synonym label? I'm checking with the LanguaL folks about what they intended for "Cow" as well which is a subclass of cattle at moment.

About "darkling beetle": Is this general category edible or just subspecies? I see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mealworm#As_food , which is listed as a subspecies of darkling beetle.

Also, there's the question about larvae - is it really for example mealworm larvae that need referencing, or a compound term of say "(mealworm and insect larvae)"? I'm reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entomophagy which is certainly a direction FoodOn should detail.

Hello and thanks for looking in to adding some of our suggested novel entries.

1) For navel orange, I think it could be treated as for example valencia oranges (they both belong to Citrus sinensis group/species), so "orange plant (food source)-----"navel orange plant (food source)" orange (whole, raw) ----- "navel orange (whole, raw)"

2) To me, it makes more sense to restrict "dairy cattle" to female animals only. So happy to exclude "bulls" from this. Unlikely anybody would search for bulls in this category or? So yes, indication of "all female dairy cattle and/or added as a synonym to cow makes sense.

3) About the beetle, it is really the larvae (mealworms) that is used for food (except some subspecies are eaten for medicinal purposes like Ulomoides dermestoides) so maybe you are right in that referencing the larvae for some subspecies is better. And the creation of a entomophagy category with species that are consumed would be great. Especially as adding insects like crickets to bread is becoming popular (not for me.....)

Happy to discuss more about the above terms or anything else that pops up. Kind regards Anneli

One issue with: Cherrios: So far foodon has avoided branded food products. On the other hand I go to the store and see generic O's - so I'll approach it that way I think, and then have dbxrefs or synonyms for them for Cherrios etc. See https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/01/13/taste-off-the-best-os-cereal-is-it-cheerios/

So first 30 terms are complete and in new FoodOn version online. I think we can get the pastas and wines done next month. One note, new FoodOn has dropped the "(food source)" and "(whole, raw)" text from the term labels, as they were largely unnecessary. The raw fruit axioms have been relaxed slightly so that e.g. "orange" no longer mentions "fruit (fresh)" in its axiomatization. This allows for fruits and vegetables to be referenced without requiring that they are in a "fresh" state.

p.s. check the docs spreadsheet for new term ids and other notes.

Going through the wine items now. A detail is that for many wines there is a varietal grape - so I'm separating that onto its own product line.

[ddooley]

Also, the USDA ARS is about to launch their FDC Food Data Central website, which has a large section of branded, barcoded products. They'll be issuing a unique FDC id to each product, and so we recommend using their FDC id's for all branded products in your list rather than creating ontology terms for them per-se. We're helping consult on their ontology future but can't say just yet whether they'll have their own OWL ontology that captures such IDs in URI's or not. But regardless, they have URI's (and barcodes) that point to database records for products, including Wheatena and Zevia lines.

[ddooley]

The wine and pasta items are in https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jcZtqoN-C75d4OCPUomtp5xNbqjLweoooSVqpK3XHSY/edit#gid=0 and are now incorporated into FoodOn via ROBOT templates, detailed on http://foodon.org/design/robot-managed-vocabularies/

[ddooley]

I have completed adding definitions (to draft FoodOn) for all but a few items which were branded foods and food colours. I think the food colour chemicals should be submitted to CHEBI, and can be imported from there?

[janelomax]

Thanks Damion, that's great! Would you mind posting the list of classes that weren't added please?

[ddooley]

Here are the brand products that are not in FoodOn. To recap, we've backed off trying to curate brand products for now as it would be a whole other effort.

NEWFOOD0029 | ovaltine | Ovomaltine NEWFOOD0047 | Wheatena | Wheatena breakfast cereal NEWFOOD0049 | Zevia | zevia | zevia drink | zevia zero-calorie drink | zevia zero calorie soda NEWFOOD0113 | Grape-Nuts | Grape Nut | Grape-Nuts cereal | branded food product. Use https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/food-details/340616 NEWFOOD0116 | monster cereals | monster cereals | boo berry | Count Chocula | Franken Berry | frankenberry | Fruit Brute | Fruity Yummy Mummy | Brand name product - See USDA ARS FDC NEWFOOD0128 | golden grahams | golden grahams | Golden Grahams Cereal NEWFOOD0129 | Golden Puffs Cereal | Golden Puffs Cereal|Golden Puffs

The problem at moment with USDA FDC site is they can't guarantee the persistence of FDC ids for a given product. We have raised this as an issue with them but it is still being discussed.

Possibly FoodOn could accept longstanding "household name" brand products, but what would the timeframe be. Ovaltine comes to mind in that category.

Here are the food colours:

I can say USDA ARS discussion is continuing about how to offer brand name products permanent ids. Any further comment on this thread? Otherwise I will close it. We can open a separate food color thread if desired.

[janelomax]

Yep, fine to close this one out. Thanks for all the new terms!
