Abstract

We maintain a knowledge base of food items and food composition data, Wiki FCD. We source food composition data from published sources such as food composition tables (FCTs) and scientific papers. As we ingest data sets, we need to match food items to corresponding identifiers from the Food Ontology (Food On). We describe the process of matching food items to Food On identifiers in a knowledge base of food composition data. We describe a software tool called Lex Mapr that can be used to bulk match food items to Food On identifiers. We have found that the Lex Mapr tool reduces the time needed to match food items to their corresponding Food On identifiers.
