== Fields ==
 
== Fields ==
 +
Each product that is entered into Open Food Facts has a set of fields. What should be entered in these field is not always clear and ambigious. In order to limit this confusion the best practice is listed here. The principle is that only information available on the labels, bottle and capsule might be used. Use the language selected on the OFF Edit Product page. If you use another language to enter fiels, precede it with a lanuage specifier. Thus on the french edit page we would enter en:Wheat Beer.<br />
 +
=== [[Best practices-page|Best Practices]] ===
 +
Have a look at the [[best practices-page]] to see detailed information on how to fill in each field.
 +
 +
== Enhanced Fields ==
 +
Several fields might be enhanced with information that is not found on the label.
 +
=== Categories ===
 +
The categories found on a label are very limited. They can be enhanced using the [[Global categories taxonomy]].We try to define the rationale behind the categories here.
 +
==== Current taxonomy ====
 +
The current categories taxonomy for beer is:<br />
 +
* Beverages : food that can be drunk
 +
:* Non-Alcoholic beverages
 +
::* Non-alcoholic beers, non-alcoholic beer, Alcohol-free beer - beers with a alcohol percentage <1%
 +
:* Alcoholic beverages - Beverages with ingredient alcohol on the label;
 +
::* Beers : Alcoholic beverages based on fermentation of (malted) grains ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer#Ingredients wikipedia]), implying that a grain should be on the ingredient list;
 +
(beer sub category based on beer colour)
 +
:::* Lager : light coloured beer;
 +
:::* Amber beers : intermediate colour beers (fr:Bières ambrées)
 +
:::* Red beers : not sure about the definition;
 +
:::* Stout : very dark coloured beers;
 +
(subcategory based on production place)
 +
:::* Belgian beers : beers with the brewery in Belgium (fr:Bières belges)
 +
:::* French beers : beers with the brewery in France (fr:bières françaises)
 +
(beer subcategory based on non standard beer ingredients)
 +
:::* Beers with fruits : beers where fruits have been added
 +
::::* Cherry beer : beers where the fruit cherry has been added
 +
:::* Wheat beers - beers based on unmalted wheat in a large proportion ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_beer wikipedia]);
 +
:::* Strong beers : beers with a high alcohol level
 +
(taxonomy branched based on the manufacturing scale)
 +
* Artisan Products - indicates the scale? of the manufacturing
 +
** Artisan Beverage Products
 +
*** Artisan Alcoholic Beverage Products (alcool artisanaux);
 +
**** Craft Beer : beers produced on a small scale. Usually this is defined on the label;
 +
 +
==== Possible categories ====
 +
Some other categories that are found on labels:
 +
* Lambic;
 +
* Bières Irlandaises;
 +
* Bières de gardes;
 +
* Organic beers (Bières bio) - beers with a organic related label;
 +
* Top Fermented beers - as said on the label
 +
* Flavored beers (Bières aromatisées) -
 +
* Fruit flavored Beers (Bières aromatisées aux fruits) -
 +
* Bières trappistes - on the label
 +
* Tripel - a variety of Belgian beer. Could be viewed as a subcategory of Strong beers.

=== Wikipedia ===
 +
Links to Breweries on Wikipedia could be entered. To make clear it is external information, this link should be preceded with '''wikipedia:'''. Here is an example of how this could work: {{product|5411098110000}}.<br />
 +
 +
Do not like how this works out. The field should only be used for keyword like attributes. There is not really a place to put url's such as these.--[[User:Aleene|Aleene]] ([[User talk:Aleene|talk]]) 18:59, 5 September 2015 (CEST)
 +
 +
=== Open Street Map ===
 +
Location of breweries could be specified through an Open Street Map link. The link should then point to the brewery building (the way in OSM terms). To make clear this concerns external / non-OFF / non productlabel information is should be preceded by '''OSM:'''. Here is an example of how this could work: {{product|5411098110000}} .
 +
=== Barnivore ===
 +
Beers that are listed in [[ http://www.barnivore.com/|Barnivore]] as vegan/vegetarian could be labeled as such.
 +
=== Wikidata ===
 +
* https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P2905 (RateBeer brewery ID)
 +
* https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P2904 (Beer Advocate brewery ID)

=== Alcohol prevention ===
 +
Some beers in France (2340.fr) and the UK (drinkaware.co.uk) show information to limit alchol consumption. This is expressed in Alcohol units.

OK, then the question is whether we re-label an alcoholic beverage as beer, when the ingredients are right, but it is not called as such on the productlabel (malt, hops). --[[User:Aleene|Aleene]] ([[User talk:Aleene|talk]]) 19:48, 23 August 2015 (CEST)

===Address markup.===
+
=== Sixpack and single bottles ===
We could add markup to addresses. Add brewery:, street: postalcode:, city: region/province:, city:, country: before each element.
+
Often beer is sold in a sixpack (or more). What to do with single bottles that came from such a sixpack. Often(?) these bottles do not have a barcode, but might contain interesting information. So do we add these bottles as products without a barcode?
===Categories===
+
=== Alcohol and Health ===
The categories taxonomy used for beer is:<br />
+
On beer bottles various warnings against drinking to much alcohol can be found. There can be logo's or warnings in text.
Beverages<br />
+
==== EU ====
- Alcoholic beverages : Beverages with ingredient alcohol as found on the label<br />
+
On bottles sold in the EU there is a warning against drinking alcohol and pregnancy.
-- Beers (ingredients branch) : Alcoholic beverages based on hops? malt?<br />
+
==== France ====
--- Amber beers : intermediate colour beers (fr:Bières ambrées)<br />
+
Sometimes the URL to an explanatory site ([http://2340.fr 2340.fr]) is found.
--- Lager : light coloured beer<br />
+
On alcoholic beverages sold in France one sees the amount of alcohol (Unité Alcohol) a drink represents.
 +
==== UK ====
 +
Bottles show the link to [http://drinkaware.co.uk drinkaware.co.uk]<br />
 +
In addition the number of alchohol units per serving are listed (One unit of alcohol (UK) is defined as 10 millilitres (8 grams) of pure alcohol ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_alcohol wikipedia])). A formula is given to calculate these numbers (The number of UK units of alcohol in a drink can be determined by multiplying the volume of the drink (in millilitres) by its percentage ABV, and dividing by 1000.)
 +
 
 +
==== US =====
 +
Warning Surgeon General?
 +
 
 +
=== Bottle shapes ===
 +
Would it be possible to register the shapes of a bottle? We could mesure height and maximum width to characterise a bottles shape.
   −
-- Origin (brewery country branch) {not specific to beer}<br />
+
== OFF Limitations ==
--- Belgian beers : beers with the brewery in Belgium (fr:Bières belges)<br />
+
The current setup of Open Food Facts has some limitations if you want to markup beer products in extreme detail. As these are extreme details, they are not really relevant to the main purpose of OFF, but you will find them listed on a separate [[OFF Beer Limitations|page]].
--- French beers : beers with the brewery in France (fr:bières françaises)<br />
     −
-- Artisan Products (process branch) - indicates the scale? of the manufacturing {not specific to beer} )<br />
  −
--- Artisan Beverage Products<br />
  −
---- Artisan Alcoholic Beverage Products (alcool artisanaux)<br />
  −
----- Craft Beer : beers produced on a small scale
