1 Tools for data management and building EMR dataset: The FoodEXplorer tool Mark Roe (EuroFIR AISBL), Paul Finglas (QIB & EuroFIR AISBL) Workshop On Standardized Methodologies For Creating Food Composition Databases Tunis, Tunisia, 5 th -8 th November 2018

2 FoodEXplorer: Food composition data User-friendly web interface Accessible for EuroFIR members Simultaneous search of standardized food composition databases (FCDB) Data from 29 countries Compositional data on foods and nutrients Harmonised food description and standardised value documentation

3 Active datasets/countries criteria 30 National datasets in FoodEXplorer from 29 countries

4 Active datasets/ countries (09/2018) Country Year Number of foods Country Year Number of foods Austria Lithuania Belgium Netherlands Bulgaria New Zealand Canada Norway Czech Republic Poland Denmark Portugal Finland Serbia France Slovakia Greece Slovenia Iceland Spain Ireland Sweden Italy (CREA) Switzerland Italy (BDA) Turkey Japan UK Latvia USA

5 Why do users need FoodEXplorer? Most recipe, diet- or menu-planning tools are country-specific and use national food composition data. For foods missing and foods from other countries it is likely information can be found through FoodEXplorer FoodEXplorer gives an idea on ranges of values, and variations. Compilers use it to increase confidence in their values Validation check for the national compilers on errors, wrong units etc Can be used as the data search tool for other countries and regions, e.g. AFROFOODS, EMR

6 FoodExplorer: Search options Search facility includes options to search based on: Original, English or scientific food name/ or a part name Food groups LanguaL thesauri facets (i.e. food groups and subgroups, food source, cooking method, treatment applied, preservation method, packaging medium, geographical regions) Chemical food components with value ranges, units, value types, method types, method indicator, reference type, reference and year of publication Search results from different datasets can be compared and also up to 15 foods downloaded and exported to, for example, Excel

7 Search options for the food items Simple search Advanced search Active datasets/countries criteria Select food groups

8 Other features Search results screen Comparing the component values from different food items Overview of detailed data for one food item Function to download search data

9 Simple search Enables searching based on (part of) food name, in combination with a food group or whole database Search based on more than one word Narrowing the search criteria (and/or) All words Exact string English food name Original or scientific name

10 Advanced search: LanguaL Tree searching system with nodes, including broad and narrow terms that describes the food attributes and all food items in the database, coded based on following criteria: Food group Food source Cooking method Treatment applied Preservation method Packing medium Geographical region

11 Advanced search Food chemical components search criteria based on combination of one or more chemical parameters: Carbohydrate components Food additives Food properties and measures (density, dry matter, etc.) Lipid components Minerals and inorganic components Nitrogen components Organic acids Phenolic components Proximates (energy, protein, water, ash, alcohol, etc.) Vitamins Selected chemical component parameter is described more precisely with the following attributes: Value or range of the chemical parameter together with unit definition Value type Method type Method indicator Reference type Year of publication

with modified criteria and implemented REMOVE the advanced search filter

12 Save, load, remove criteria SAVE/LOAD option for frequently used advanced search criteria that can be saved and /or loaded later and used with modified criteria and implemented REMOVE the advanced search filter can be removed by using the remove all filters or remove search criteria options

Search results screen Displays the resulted food items, based on search criteria. As default, food items are sorted according to alphabetical English name order.

14 Search results screen Displays the resulted food items, based on search criteria. As default, food items are sorted according to alphabetical English name order. 100 resulted food items fitting into one screen. Commands to scroll on the page, to move to the next, previous, last and first page and to sort the resulted food items based on each column content (ascending/descending sort order).

15 Comparing component values from different food items Selecting the food items for comparing. This systematic and simple overview of the component content for each food item will be displayed ordered by components.

16 Comparing values from different food items by component groups Selecting the food items for comparing. The systematic and simple overview of the component content for each food item will be displayed on separate tags ordered by component groups.

17 Downloading data: MY CART MY CART collects food items for download as: FDTP - Food Data Transport Package format (xml file structure - EuroFIR standard) Excel file format extended and shortened version

Overview: Detailed data for one food General food information (food name, original name and food ID). Pie graph with % distribution of total energy between fat, protein and carbohydrates.

18 Overview: Detailed data for one food General food information (food name, original name and food ID). Pie graph with % distribution of total energy between fat, protein and carbohydrates. Food attributes: food group, edible portion, piece weight, special gravity, nitrogen factor, fatty acids factor, etc. Food components with chemical component parameters, grouped and sorted by main component groups. selected value, unit, matrix unit, value type, method type, method indicator, reference type, citation, publication date web address.

23 Data Quality FoodEXplorer data: as good as the data provided National databases have their own purposes and quality requirements In EuroFIR projects we worked towards a common quality approach, with: Description of the work flow Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) EuroFIR and CEN standard for food and value documentation Compiler peer reviews to investigate the common quality level National compilers documented data according to the EuroFIR standard and provided the datasets for FoodEXplorer

24 Tools for data exchange and sharing EuroFIR Thesauri Food Data Transport Package Excel data exchange templates FoodCASE + INFOODS Guidelines Compiler s Toolbox (DFI)

25 EuroFIR thesauri

28 Updating and sharing datasets Food composition data are updated over time new and updated data should be available in online datasets FoodEXplorer aims to update the FCDB with the latest versions of all datasets. Challenges Many compilers do not have IT experience or support Data should be in a standard format A simple solution is needed to enable easy data transfer

29 EuroFIR Food Data Transport Package EuroFIR Food Data Transport Package (2011) defines the standards for the data transport in xml format (ExtensibleMarkupLanguage) Used in FoodCASE food composition database management software Not easy to use!
