Thank you! That looks like the type of format which may work. One problem that comes to mind that I would have to input each ingredient from the database one at a time. The structure is already set. And in terms of the additional criteria for the ingridients (flavour, texture and so on) maybe a "tick the box" format to allow ease of input and to help ensure the type of input would be consistent. Regardless, I would still like to contribute to your wiki site.

Greetings All! I have spent the last few years compiling a databank of every ingredient on earth. Every spice, fruit, vegetable, and seafood you name it. They have been broken down into a browsable form and the common name for each item is used. I am now seeking to expand the reach of this data by adding additional ingredient information. For example: Flavour Profile: The primary flavour of the product Texture Profile: Textural composition of the product Flavour Intensity Level: 1 (Low), 2 (Medium), 3 (High) Key Aroma Compounds: Must be relevant to the product. Every ingredient has a multitude of aromas but there are only a select few which are truly relevant to how we smell and taste the item Sympathetic Flavours Unsympathetic Flavours I am looking for the best way to publish this data onto the internet. I believe that an opensource format may be the best way forward. Allowing the public to aid in the gathering of this information. What do you all think of this upcoming resource? Where and how do you feel I should make it available? On a separate note it will be later used in conjunction with my culinary algorithmic software which I will explain in more detail in my next post. I look forward to hearing your thought and comments. Thank you all for your help. Kind regards, Ryan Wallis
