Tesauro de alimentação inclusiva

Abstract

The proposal of this present work is to create a thesaurus with terms related to inclusive eating, a proposal that is willing to include people with dietary restrictions in all environments where food consumption occurs, promoting the supply of food without the substances that would harm these people or, at least, making part of the food offered in that place free of these substances and/or properly identified with this information. The thesaurus, which is a type of documental language that preserves the relationship between the terms that compose it, was elaborated from the conceptual model proposed by Cervantes. Documentary languages ​are used to maintain the cohesion of document representation and avoid the phenomenon of redundancy and ambiguities that occur in natural language. It is important that the terms that make up the thesaurus are consistent with the language adopted by the population that will be able to search for the documents represented. 97 terms were compared from two documents belonging to this subdomain of gastronomy from which the thesaurus was created. It was verified the efficiency of Cervantes' model for the elaboration of thesaurus, but also that the representation of the documents referring to the theme is different from the language used by people outside the academic environment.
