Labels hierarchy

Introduction

The current Labels taxonomy does not have much structure. Only some specific labels have been structured. This document outlines a proposal to add structure to the entire taxonomy. All labels should be able to fall under this hierarchy. (We can dream).

Main level

The labels can be split into two groups:

• Product, every label that describes some aspect of the consumable part. The packaging does not have to be taken into account.
• Supply Chain, describing each process from creating to having it at the consumer (Life Cycle). There is a relation with the process implementor (farmer, producer, packager, transporter, distributor). A label might cover multiple processes.

Second Level

Product

The labels in this group describe features of the consumable part. We can distinguish:

• Ingredients: like No Palm Oils, Natural ingredients,... (we should be able to link to the ingredients taxonomy)
• Nutritional Values: less sugar, with vitamin A, ...
• Non-consumable parts: the rind of the cheese, etc.
