A database interface standard incorporating the food description language LANGUAL is under development to allow international exchange of food composition, food consumption, and other food-related data. The first step in this project is the refinement and implementation of a schema for the interface standard. This schema includes descriptive terms for LANGUAL factors and other aspects of foods. The second step is the development of a repertoire of personal computer programs for retrieval of food data, using the standard interface. The third step calls for the dissemination of the results of this project to an international audience through demonstration projects for international symposia and pilot tests for scientific applications.
一个包含食品描述语言LANGUAL的数据库接口标准正在开发中，以实现食品成分、食品消费及其他与食品相关数据的国际交流。该项目的第一步是完善和实施接口标准的架构。此架构包括LANGUAL因素及食品其他方面的描述术语。第二步是开发一套个人计算机程序，用于通过标准接口检索食品数据。第三步要求通过国际研讨会的示范项目和科学应用的试点测试，将该项目的成果传播给国际受众。
