Abstract

People often value the sensual, celebratory, and health aspects of food, but behind this experience exists many other value-laden agricultural production, distribution, manufacturing, and physiological processes that support or undermine a healthy population. The complexity of such processes is evident in both every-day food preparation of recipes and in industrial food manufacturing, packaging and storage. An integrated ontology landscape does not yet exist to cover all the entities at work in this farm to fork journey. It seems necessary to construct such a vision by reusing expert-curated fit-to-purpose ontology subdomains. The challenge is to make this merger be, by analogy, one language, rather than nouns and verbs from a dozen or more dialects. This work focuses on the ontology components - object and data properties and annotations - needed to model food processes or more general process modelling within the context of the Open Biological and Biomedical Ontology Foundry and congruent ontologies.
