Symbolic representation of observable properties of the world.

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

Knowledge derived from experimental/observational data.

A scientifically based process consisting of the following steps: (i) hazard identification, (ii) hazard characterization, (iii) exposure assessment, and (iv) risk...

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

A biological, chemical or physical agent in, or condition of, food with the potential to cause an adverse health effect (FAO/WHO, 2016).

Model equation that has been fitted to Experimental/Observational data (training data) with the aim of obtaining a validated-fitted model.

Experimental/Observational data used for the generation of a fitted model.

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

The food product for which the model or data apply.

Is founded on the relationship between observed data and approximate representations of the real systems that generated that data.

A parameterized model equation (Model equation + parameters value).

Online resource for RAKIP partners with a Graphical User Interface for browsing, searching, filtering and downloading FSKX-files. It allows sharing FSK-ML formatted data and...

The qualitative and/or quantitative evaluation of the likely intake of biological, chemical, and physical agents via food as well as exposures from other sources if relevant...

Model equation that has been fitted to Experimental/Observational data (training data) with the aim of obtaining a validated-fitted model.

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

File format defined within the FSK-ML specifications supporting the exchange of risk assessment models.

The matrix for which the model or data applies. The term Matrix is inspired in the Standard Sample Description for Food and Feed ver. 2.0 (SSD) (EFSA, 2013) where the type of...

Knowledge on a system stored inside or obtained from a model, e.g. a mathematical algorithm, EM, PM and QMRA model, software code etc.

The process of gathering data. Different types of data can be collected (microbial concentrations, daily consumption, etc.). The collected data should be fit for purpose,...
