Hi Lars,

thanks for your suggestion.
Yes, Nanopublications or Annotation Ontology (http://code.google.com/p/annotation-ontology/) would be good to model supporting evidence.

Best,
Marco.

Hi Marco,

This sounds like a use case for nanopublications [1]. They define it as

[[

A nanopublication is the smallest unit of publishable information: an assertion about anything that can be uniquely identified and attributed to its author.

Individual nanopublications can be cited by others and tracked for their impact on the community.

Hi Marco

This is a very touchy domain, where vocabularies and data should be carefully wrapped within provenance, source, time stamp, authority. More than anywhere else, beware of any positivist, unique thought, thruth-based approach ...

The examples you give are not facts, but just statements which should be backed by literature. Exceptions and different viewpoints exist, etc.

Think about the fact it will feed algorithms, at the end of the day. And if you make them public, end in Google Knowledge Graph ...

Hi all,

I'm looking for an ontology/controlled vocabulary/alike that links food ingredients/substances/dishes to human diseases/conditions, like intolerances, allergies, diabetes etc.

Examples of information I'd like to find coded (please assume they're true, I'm no expert):
  - gluten must be avoided by people affected by coeliac disease
  - omega-3 is good for people with high cholesterol
  - sugar should be avoided by people with diabetes risk

I also would like linked data about commercial food products, but even an ontology without 'instances' would be useful.

So far, I've found an amount of literature (eg, [1-3]) and vocabularies like AGROVOC[4], but nothing like the above.

Thanks in advance for any help!
Marco
