LanguaL

All foods in the on-line Czech Food Composition database have been indexed by the LanguaL^TM Thesaurus - an automated method for describing, capturing and retrieving data about food. LanguaL^TM indexing of foods is a mandatory procedure for compilation centers cooperating within the EuroFIR network.

With a view to introducing the LanguaL^TM Thesaurus to the community of Czech food composition database users, LanguaL^TM descriptors were translated into the Czech language.

LanguaL^TM codes attached to foods are presented within food records in the Czech on-line food composition database. A full list of descriptors attached to a selected food is accessible by clicking on the notice “Display attached descriptors”. 

Hypertext in descriptors and codes enables searching for other foods coded with the selected descriptor/code in the dataset.
