How to handle it

Logic to handle it

Existing libraries to parse weights and quantities

Using Wikidata

Possible calculations

  • Weight per item
    • Is the same item always the same weight (ham slices)
    • Useful if you eat one of the cakes in the packaging, and want to know how many calories you ate without having to weight the cake
  • Percentage of water
    • Useful to calculate actual cost if we know the price
    • Useful to fix calorie calculation for some products
  • Calculate packaging weight by making the difference between actual weight and advertised weight
  • Calculate weight per volume for products (1dL of water is 1kg, but this changes for various products that also have a mention of their volume)
  • Some products will have multilingual weights
    • we can check that the conversion is well done if we have both values
    • we can display the value in several metrics if we have a sanitized value in one metric

Generic approach

The real-world quantities for products as used by the users us a far from ideal. However it is possible to find some common approach. (At least we try here)

  • to indicate times, either a "*" or a "x" can be used;
  • the generic formula is: multiplier * quantity size_unit for units
  • multiple formulas are distinguished by a ";"
    • multiplier indicates how often a quantity unit is used, i.e. 6 (25 cl bottles). This is a number.
    • quantity the size of the units in size_units, i.e. 25 (size) cl (size_unit) bottles (units). This is a number.
    • size_units is the unit for the size parameter, i.e. kg, ml or cl. This is an enumerated?
    • unit is the element the numbers and sizes refer to, i.e. pot, bottle, sack, etc.

Some remarks:

  • not all 4 elements are always specified, eg 250 g means 1*250 g for the entire product
  • sometimes more than one quantity is specified, e.g. 250 g (5x50 g) might mean 1x250g for the entire product OR 5 50g pots
  • there are exceptions, such as multiple multipliers.
  • naturally users do not use this formal approach, but most quantities can be translated to this approach.

Test: To test this approach the examples found in France have translated to this formal approach:
