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

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...

The action or process of making decisions based on scientific facts or results. In the context of risk management, decision-making considers the risk assessment results and...

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...

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

In the context of the model classes defined in RAKIP, QMRA model is the combination of all other model classes (see Model classes definition) and data.

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 Examples of background knowledge sources in QMRA area are: published scientific studies, unpublished studies, national or...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 biological, chemical or physical agent in, or condition of, food with the potential to cause an adverse health effect (FAO/WHO, 2016).

Model that describes how the concentrations of the hazard change along the different steps (modules) of the food production chain (potentially from farm to fork).

The qualitative and/or quantitative evaluation of the nature of the adverse health effects associated with biological, chemical and physical agents which may be present in food...

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...

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,...

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...

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...
