Building the Recipe Web?Building the Recipe Web?Building the Recipe Web? 11/14/2003 06:20 PM RecipeML is a format for representing recipes on computer. It is written in the increasingly popularExtensible Markup Language - XML. So I'm all about this microcontent thing, thinking recently about recipes since reading Marc Canter's post about them. Actually, I've been thinking about them for a couple of years now, since I'd really like to start cooking some decent meals with the web's help. Oh yeah, and I'm a geek, so tinkering with some data would be fun too. One thing I rarely notice mentioned when ideas like this come up is pre-existing work. Like RecipeML or even the non-XML MealMaster format. Both of these have been around for quite a long time, especially so in the case of MealMaster. In fact, if someone wanted to bootstrap a collection of recipes, you can find a ton (150,000) of MealMaster recipes as well as a smaller archive (10,000) of RecipeML files. Of course, I'm not sure about the copyright situation with any of these, but it's a start anyway. But, the real strength in a recipe web would come from cooking bloggers. Supply them with tools to generate RecipeML, post them on a blog server, and index them in an RSS feed. Then, geeks get to work building the recipe aggregators. Hell, I'm thinking I might even give this a shot. Since I'd really like to play with some RDF concepts, maybe I'll write some adaptors to munge RecipeML and MealMaster into RDF recipe data. Cross that with FOAF and other RDF whackyness, and build an empire of recipe data. The thing I wonder, though, is why hasn't anyone done this already? And why hasn't anyone really mentioned much about what's out there already like RecipeML and MealMaster? It seems like the perfect time to add this into the blogosphere.

Of course, I love the idea. Two common ideas we hear a lot are 1) to put recipes in XML format and do all sorts of wonderful things and 2) that kitchen appliances should be smart and you should be able to feed them recipes and have your food made for you. They're both great ideas, but invariably, people underestimate the work involved ("But it's just a recipe!") and overestimate the usefulness ("It would be so cool!"). Source:Troy &

Here’s a good response from someone who knows what he’s talking about when it comes to recipes on the web—he’s one of the contributors to the aforementioned RecipeML format and is part of the team responsible for Recipezaar . While I think that recipes as syndicated microcontent could be a good thing, Troy makes some important points here.

Syntax is
preparing to launch another Olevia flat-screen LCD television, this
one a 42-inch widescreen with a 1,366 by 768 pixel resolution and an
8ms response time (pretty decent, as these things go). The biggest
thing, though, is that it's Syntax's first HDTV with a built-in ATSC
and HDMI tuner, meaning it's effectively a plug-and-play solution
(previous models required an external tuner). Expect to see the
LT42HVi in June for around $3,700.
