Happy to announce "Ontological how and why: action and objective of planned processes in the food domain"

[Damion Dooley]

Tarini Naravane and I just got a paper published in the Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence special edition on "Knowledge Graph Technologies: the Next Frontier of the Food, Agriculture, and Water Domains".  Our "Ontological how and why: action and objective of planned processes in the food domain" is a concept paper, meaning that we are laying out how things could work in an upper level hierarchy of process terms.  All this is subject to further debate before finalizing terms, and so as noted in paper, Tarini and I look forward to your feedback.  A FoodOn GitHub issue  holds further discussion, but as well the Food Process Ontology group is meeting every two weeks to work on this hierarchy; contact me if you are interested in joining - we're especially keen to get a few more food scientists into the group.

You will see 3 other papers there with topics that may be of special interest to you as well:

• Using knowledge graphs to infer gene expression in plants, by Anne Thessen, Laurel Cooper & co. pertinent to understanding agricultural adaptation in climate change, and standardization of contextually dependent research (via biolink obo foundry compatible data model), e.g. 

• Integrating collective know-how for multicriteria decision support in agrifood chains—application to cheesemaking by Patrice Buche & co. on detailed multicriteria decision process control (involving manual, automatic and semi-automatic tasks) applied to cheesemaking.
  
  
• EPPO ontology: a semantic-driven approach for plant and pest codes representation, developed by BSAF with liberal use of OBO Foundry ontology pieces.
