Our apologies  if you receive this as a result of cross-posting!

This is the first call for presentation and poster abstracts for the 3rd Integrated Food Ontology Workshop, a hybrid virtual (streamed) and on-site workshop to be held at the Joint Ontology Workshops 2022 event in Jönköping University, Jönköping, Sweden (JOWO, https://www.iaoa.org/jowo/2022/ and https://ju.se/en/collaboration/events-and-conferences/conferences/jowo-2022.html .  IFOW workshop details will be available online at https://foodon.org/ifow-2022-workshop/.  See past IFOW abstracts and presentations for 2020 and 2021 held in Bolzano at JOWO/ICBO. 

Academic, agricultural and public health agencies are considering the benefits and complexities of adopting ontology in their research and data management and reporting infrastructure. What vocabulary, tool ecosystem and data models are needed to correlate agricultural treatments, nutritional data, eating patterns, biomarkers, pathogens, and phytochemical levels with disease and health phenotypes? This workshop seeks to define the coverage of the different ecological, agricultural, nutritional, dietary, public health, one health surveillance, food security, and trade domains that food-related ontologies are modelling, and the use of data translation tools for bringing legacy data into the ontology fold.

The workshop will have 3 hybrid (combination physical and virtual) sessions split into presentations of relevant ontologies / projects and their scope, followed by discussion and a break as schedule allows. We encourage people to consider this an opportunity to meet and connect with peers from interrelated disciplines, and to discover the full breadth of ontology research occurring in the food domain. Topics we welcome:

  • Ontology in agriculture and the environment (modelling of crop treatments, field studies, farm practice, biosample testing for nutrient content, and impact of fertilizers, pesticides and toxins)
  • Ontology in nutrition and food science, technology, and engineering including food product biotransformation from fungi, and bacteria, and how they are taken in the body through dietary eating patterns, and nutrition, fermentation and metabolomic modelling.
  • Ontologies and their applications: How the public and private sector are using food related ontologies in their research and operations: database integration, process analysis, tools for ontology building, quality metrics.

Submission types

The workshop accepts and values original contributions in English in PDF format. All papers must be original and not submitted to or accepted by any other workshop or conference. All contributions will be peer-reviewed, and the review process will be managed in a collaborative and transparent manner. For 10 minute presentations + discussion:

  • Full length research paper (up to 12 pages, excluding bibliography, published in JOWO conference proceedings)
  • Early career submission (up to 6 pages, excluding bibliography, published in JOWO conference proceedings)
  • Short abstract (2 pages, excluding bibliography, and not included in JOWO conference proceedings)

As well, shorter 2-3 page “Poster” presentations are accepted: format 5-10 min max + questions.

May 15 deadline for presentation abstract and paper submission

Overview

Academic, agricultural and public health agencies are considering the benefits and complexities of adopting ontology in their research and data management and reporting infrastructure. What vocabulary, tool ecosystem and data models are needed to correlate agricultural treatments, nutritional data, eating patterns, biomarkers, pathogens, and phytochemical levels with disease and health phenotypes? This workshop seeks to define the coverage of the different ecological, agricultural, nutritional, dietary, public health, one health surveillance, food security, and trade domains that food-related ontologies are modelling, and the use of data translation tools for bringing legacy data into the ontology fold.

Schedule

The workshop will be in two hybrid (combination physical and virtual) parts:

Presentation Sessions Monday Aug 15 CET (GMT+2)

Two presentation and discussion sessions about the development and application of ontologies and open graph databases towards agricultural production, food processing, ingredient and nutritional composition.

11am-12:15 IFOW Presentation and discussion

  • Japanese Food Ontology (FGNHNS Alpha, Chihiro Higuchi)
  • Progress and prospects for the Compositional Dietary Nutrition Ontology(CDNO, Liliana Andrés-Hernández)
  • Linked open data for pesticides (PestOn ontology, Marco Medici)

2pm-3:15 IFOW Presentation and discussion

IFOW Fermentation Workshop

A few hours of think-tank / white-boarding is planned on the topic of fermentation.

Monday Aug 15 CET (GMT+2)

4pm-5pm CET: IFOW Fermentation Workshop: Alcohol By Volume (ABV) Modelling

  • Chair: Robert Warren
  • Review of ABV stakeholder communities
  • Outline of the technical vs cultural and regulatory challenge 
  • Technical ABV – measurement points in a process model
  • Regulatory aspect
    • Ties into cultural norms (France, Canada/Provincial, US States)
    • ABV as reported as in literature vs. GS1/Schema.org product group advertising
Tuesday Aug 16 CET (GMT+2)

5:45pm-7:30 IFOW Fermentation Model and Beer Styles

  • Chair: Francesco Vitali and Damion Dooley
  • Technical Overview (yeast -> enzymatic level analysis)
  • Ontologizing Beer Styles: we all call it “beer”!
    • Technical: a beer as determined by fermentation process
    • Cultural / Jurisdictional beer: layering onto technical hierarchy?
    • Where the two views conflict?
    • Characteristics of a beer style (e.g. Pilsner: water + light style= technical + historical)
  • Summary
    • Next steps: where and how should this ontologically-driven content be presented, and for which audiences?

Thanks to all who attended in person or remotely! Video of the Fermentation Workshop is now online. Regretfully the IFOW presentation sessions were not recorded, but the presentation’s slide decks and paper content are available on the Joint Food Ontology Workgroup GitHub Repo.  

Feel free to raise any issues or feedback on the JFOW issues board there or on this list.

Sincerely,
The IFOW 2022 Organizing Committee
