The goal of Folksonomy engine is to unleash an ocean of new usages regarding food knowledge. Folksonomy engine allows all kind of people — citizens, researchers, journalists, professionals, artists, communities, innovators... — to enrich and use Open Food Facts, thanks to free tags and properties of their own, for their own use or to enrich the shared knowledge.
