A consumption model describes the amount of food consumed during a particular eating occasion (i.e., a serving) and/or the frequency of the consumption of these servings, or an...

Process aiming to access the quality of a risk assessment document, a risk assessment model, and the underlying data. Can be a multistep review process involving one or more...

A process consisting of three components: risk assessment, risk management and risk communication (Codex Alimentarius Commission, 1999).

Scenarios can be constructed to predict the range of possible exposures. The scenarios might reflect effects of processing, such as hygienic design, cleaning and disinfection,...

Data that defines and describes other data (ISO, 2004).

The interactive exchange of information and opinions concerning risk among risk assessors, risk managers, consumers and other interested parties (Codex Alimentarius Commission,...

A function of the probability of an adverse health effect and the severity of that effect, consequential to a hazard in food (Codex Alimentarius Commission, 1999).

The interactive exchange of information and opinions concerning risk among risk assessors, risk managers, consumers and other interested parties (Codex Alimentarius Commission,...

Measurement values obtained in experimental or observational studies. Can be used in the fitting or validation procedure.

The microorganisms and/or their toxins present in, or condition of, food with the potential to cause an adverse health effect (adapted from Hazard definition from FAO/WHO, 2016).

The process of weighing policy alternatives in the light of the results of risk assessment and, if required, selecting and implementing appropriate control options, including...

A curation process for models aims to classify models according to certain quality criteria. These quality criteria must be defined. Depending on the classification, the end...

A consumption model describes the amount of food consumed during a particular eating occasion (i.e., a serving) and/or the frequency of the consumption of these servings, or an...

The complete set of metadata concepts generated as part of the RAKIP project that allows annotating with sufficient detail any type of model or data in the QMRA or PM modelling...

Experimental/observational data that is used to evaluate the performance of the fitted model. This data should have not been used previously for generation of the fitted model.

Experimental/observational data that is used to evaluate the performance of the fitted model. This data should have not been used previously for generation of the fitted model.

The cardinality value indicates if the metadata concept is mandatory or not, and the possible dimension. The value of “1” means that the metadata is mandatory. The value of...

Empirical models describe a set of data in a convenient mathematical relationship without considering any underlying phenomena (Ross and Dalgaard 2004). Examples of empirical...

Process aiming at generating a description of a system through mathematical concepts or software code.

Model that has been fitted and successfully validated on independent experimental/observational data (evaluation data). A validated-fitted model can be used to make predictions...
