Labels taxonomy

Introduction

The Labels taxonomy is one of the many taxonomies in use by OFF. This specific taxonomy is used for any claim, text or label describing the product or its content. These labels can refer to the product quality, the processes in the factory, prices that have been won, marketing expressions, etc, etc.

This document describes a categorisation of labels, some markup that is specific for labels and that is not yet defined in taxonomies.

Exceptions

Some logos are not included in the labels taxonomy, but can be found elsewhere.

The data

Raw data

The raw data of the labels taxonomy can be found on the openfoodfacts-server repository on Github. The labels taxonomy can be found in the folder taxonomies. And the relevant file is labels.txt. The other files beginning with labels can be ignored.

Maintenance

The maintenance of the labels taxonomy is the same as the Taxonomy Maintenance.

In addition it might be needed to add images for labels, so that they can be recognised by the automatic recognition engine [[Robotoff].
