Ontology-based daily menu assistance system

The daily useful nutrition needs become important information to be given to the society. Occurrence of many nutrition cases, such as obesity, overweight or even underweight, shows that the society have not been given an appropriate information about their recommended daily values for key nutrients and also the suggestion of their daily menus. In this paper, we design ontology-based daily menu assistance system using the Indonesian food as a case study. The ontology is a simple methodology to describe the concept of an expert system. We have used it to model a nutrition needs domain in the information of health control system. This methodology is used to advise the appropriate Indonesian food menus to anyone based on their personal data, calories needed, activity factor, and abstinence.
