The term parameter is used in a number of ways. In the context of RAKIP project, examples of parameter are: the prevalence and concentration of foodborne pathogens on food...

Is the foundation of the model generation process. Examples of background knowledge sources in QMRA area are: published scientific studies, unpublished studies, national or...

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,...

is obtained via analysis and synthesis of information and it contains the data, information and the relationships between all those entities. Rules and organizing principles...

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.
