How to handle it
Logic to handle it
Existing libraries to parse weights and quantities
Using Wikidata
- Translations and aliases of units
- weight unit list
- units of volume
Possible calculations
- Weight per item
- Is the same item always the same weight (ham slices)
- Useful if you eat one of the cakes in the packaging, and want to know how many calories you ate without having to weight the cake
- Percentage of water
- Useful to calculate actual cost if we know the price
- Useful to fix calorie calculation for some products
- Calculate packaging weight by making the difference between actual weight and advertised weight
- Calculate weight per volume for products (1dL of water is 1kg, but this changes for various products that also have a mention of their volume)
- Some products will have multilingual weights
- we can check that the conversion is well done if we have both values
- we can display the value in several metrics if we have a sanitized value in one metric
Generic approach
The real-world quantities for products as used by the users us a far from ideal. However it is possible to find some common approach. (At least we try here)
- to indicate times, either a "*" or a "x" can be used;
- the generic formula is: multiplier * quantity size_unit for units
- multiple formulas are distinguished by a ";"
- multiplier indicates how often a quantity unit is used, i.e. 6 (25 cl bottles). This is a number.
- quantity the size of the units in size_units, i.e. 25 (size) cl (size_unit) bottles (units). This is a number.
- size_units is the unit for the size parameter, i.e. kg, ml or cl. This is an enumerated?
- unit is the element the numbers and sizes refer to, i.e. pot, bottle, sack, etc.
Some remarks:
- not all 4 elements are always specified, eg 250 g means 1*250 g for the entire product
- sometimes more than one quantity is specified, e.g. 250 g (5x50 g) might mean 1x250g for the entire product OR 5 50g pots
- there are exceptions, such as multiple multipliers.
- naturally users do not use this formal approach, but most quantities can be translated to this approach.
Test: To test this approach the examples found in France have translated to this formal approach:
