Hi Bjarke, I work a bit on Food & Drink (edamam.com before, now Europeana Food & Drink which is not about nutrition but anyway).
For edamam we processed recipes. We targeted USDA Standard Reference (is this the same as USDA Nutrient Database?). - We mapped normal food names (e.g. Steak) to one of the hundreds of steaks on USDA using a FreeBase dataset - We mapped ingredient lines (especially unit and number) using heuristics and duct tape. Oh it was so much fun! I haven't looked at nutrition info on Wikipedia, but knowing how fiddly is this info, I doubt it'd be structured and entered properly in every article to enable good extraction. You make a good point with Coconut: why put two foods on one page? AFAIK, DBpedia can't extract twice from the same page. I think you're better off looking at specialized sites. 1. http://world.openfoodfacts.org/ Mostly about nutritional values, labels, countries of ready foods. Has a great number of varieties and brands. Mostly EN & FR 2. http://foodpedia.tk/ - info http://datahub.io/dataset/foodpedia - very well done, but only Russian, from http://goodsmatrix.ru/ - eg http://foodpedia.tk/page/4601242311914 3. https://archive.org/details/kasabi: - info http://linkeddatacatalog.dws.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/dataset/foodista - food: 66k recipes, 22k persons, classified foods (eg seafood, spices...) - foodista: 32k recipes - uses this ontology, let me know if you find a RDF file https://web.archive.org/web/20140207204602/http://linkedrecipes.org/schema Even if not, you can model something similar in DBpedia; or use hRecipe or schema.org/Recipe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
