Food composition data (FCD) are an essential part of nutrition research. FCD provide nutrient data for both processed (e.g. veggie burger) and unprocessed (e.g. apples) food. Many FCDs are available online, although they come in many different formats (e.g. PDF, CSV) with varying degrees of details in content. | |||
Additionally, there are vast variations in food that are commonly consumed across regions. Nutrients of unprocessed food can also vary even for the same item for a variety of reasons including changes in terroir. Area- and time-specific data are key to understanding nutrition and health. Some countries lack these data or only have data that are out of date, leading to disparities in data and ultimately, in scientific evidence in health research. | |||
Despite several attempts by research institutes and intergovernmental agencies to create a global FCD in the past, none has succeeded in developing a universally accessible, up-to-date, easy-to-use, and comprehensive global FCD. Development and maintenance of these databases are difficult if the contributors are limited to small sets of researchers and employees in this field. The wiki system has a potential to bring a better solution to this problem. We propose WikiFCD to compile detailed food composition data that are already available online. The need for diverse participants is very much in line with the missions of projects supported by Wikimedia Foundation and, through this pilot project, we hope to show how peer production can contribute to improvement in knowledge disparities in global nutrition. | |||

1. What is the solution to this problem? | |||
We will test | We will test different methods to populate the wikibase with nutrient data from 4 food composition databases from around the world (details in the [[Mika/Temp/WikiFCD#Project_plan|Project Plan]] section). We will write schemas to describe our data model. We will map our properties to Wikidata properties. | ||
2. Why is this a good idea? | |||
First, this database can contribute to a significant advancement in nutritional research as this wikibase system will improve usability of FCD from different sources - which is a key step in identifying and borrow most appropriate data in resource-poor settings where up-to-date FCD are not readily available - and open up ways to explore new research questions to explore more nuanced nutrition data (e.g. changes in nutrient content of the same product, depending on the climate conditions of the year). | |||
Secondly, by creating an instance of Wikibase for this project we will be able to design our own data models to incorporate data from heterogeneous data sources. If subsets of this data are appropriate for Wikidata, we will be able to provide machine-actionable ShEx schemas that will help us prepare data for other systems. In this way the data will be readily-available for incorporation into Wikidata if desired. | |||
Finally, this project will reach diverse communities from around the world as these FCT can be translated into/from many languages. The design of Wikibase will allow us to more easily support additional languages in the data itself, as well as in user interfaces. | |||

# Proof-of-concept | |||
## We will use 3 databases mentioned above to test if our schema is appropriate to accommodate various information included in databases from different places. | |||
## Once the project is over, other databases can be entered, following the examples we develop in this project. | |||
# Methodology | |||
## We will develop a tutorial and documentation for edit-a-thon participants to follow. | |||
## Once the project is over, these tutorials and documentation can be used by future participants to enter and maintain the database. | |||
# Alignment with WMF strategy | |||
## One of the elements of Wikimedia’s strategy focuses on “Knowledge equity”, which includes “communities that have been left out by structures of power and privilege”. | |||
## Supporting multiple language communities serves this purpose, as food composition databases are more common in English and languages spoken in the EU. | |||

We will create a wikibase, based on our analyses of 2 distinct food composition databases as the starting examples first: | |||
:: 1) [http://www.fao.org/fileadmin/templates/food_composition/documents/AnFooD2.0.xlsx FAO/INFOODS Analytical Food Composition Database Version 2.0 (AnFooD2.0)] | :: 1) [http://www.fao.org/fileadmin/templates/food_composition/documents/AnFooD2.0.xlsx FAO/INFOODS Analytical Food Composition Database Version 2.0 (AnFooD2.0)] | ||

Then we will check how much overlap exists between these "global" databases and individual databases listed below. If any information is omitted in the global databases, we will add those to our system. | |||

# Description - We will host five Edit-a-thon events in Seattle (2), in Boston (1), in Baltimore (1), and in Kerala (1) to check "automated" data entries against the original databases, check global vs individual databases, and translate data in this Wikibase into Japanese, Spanish, and Malayalam. Appropriate communities (universities and wikidata communities) have been contacted for hosting these events. | |||
# Outputs - Linked FCD in Wikibase. | |||

Our budget includes the costs of two main developers who will be involved with the project data models and software engineering, for the duration of the project. Engineering/scientist positions will be filled by the grantees. The positions are split as follows: One person working on data models and model alignment with Wikidata and one person working on maintaining the Wikibase and leading bot development work | Our budget includes the costs of two main developers and managers who will be involved with the project data models and software engineering, for the duration of the project.

For dissemination reasons, we are planning to visit Wikimania, to talk with editors in person about their needs and wishes for contributing food composition data. Wikimania is the right venue for this, as it will have a large pool of editors from different Wikipedia language versions. | For dissemination reasons, we are planning to visit Wikimania, to talk with editors in person about their needs and wishes for contributing food composition data.
