Work with datafoodconsortium

[paroga]

Integrate an interface according to http://datafoodconsortium.org

Good you're bringing this up 👍
What about sharedlists-like sync over an API? #396
Then there could be different datasource connectors, including datafoodconsortium.

[paroga]

IMHO datafoodconsortium should become our main API, also for communication with sharedlists (or maybe we can replace sharedlists with OFN in the future, since it doesn't get much love anyway)

[wvengen]

That would be a nice idea! :)

Looks interesting!

Do you understand how deposit and tax can be handled with the DFC thing? I could not find those terms in their github repositories. I have no experience with API design and ontologies. That seems to be a strict and formal approach and I believe that we should not simply add "tax" and "deposit" properties at our discretion.

[wvengen]

If we'd want to use DFC, we'd probably best participate in the discussion, so it can be integrated by the team in a way that fits well. Perhaps we could open an issue (as that's the only thing linked from the website), or participate in the OFN forums, which has a large involvement in there (I'd do that first).

I wrote a private e-mail in June 2019. That was the worst option I guess.

As a second attempt, I opened datafoodconsortium/ontology/issues/17 just now.
