abstract = {Gastronomy is increasingly becoming a decisive flavour of tourists’ experience. Tourists’ gastronomic experience could be significantly enhanced by AI tools that provide image-based dish recognition and menu translation, thus covering the basic needs of tourists during a visit that involves culinary experiences. This paper presents and discusses solutions explored with the project GRE-Taste that deals with the enhancement of culinary tourism experience in northern Greece, for which no linguistic resources exist and where general-purpose tools fail.},

abstract = {As part of our project entitled “GRE-Taste: The Taste of Greece,” we have been developing a trilingual (Greek, English and Russian) thesaurus of food served in restaurants in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace. To this end, we have designed a web thesaurus development environment, and have defined facets and subfacets corresponding to the following major categories: Foods (both as ingredients and as dishes); drinks; food sources (and parts thereof); places of origin; preparation methods; functions; state; and, nutrition. For each concept, the preferred (most common) and non-preferred (synonym and hidden) terms are entered; nutritional, cultural and other information appear in separate fields, as do the relationships between concepts (e.g. between a dish and its ingredients, cooking methods or place of origin). In this paper, we examine how the Langual thesaurus can be used to code foods, and as well as the issues involved in the process, such as those related to confusing descriptions and the absence of corresponding Greek dishes. We offer a suggestion for the enrichment of the Langual thesaurus aimed at producing an outcome that might ensure harmonization and interoperability among different applications. We also put forth a proposal that might help resolve Greek terminology challenges encountered in the description and classification process of foods and also regarding issues that arise related to other gastronomic concepts.},

abstract = {This article describes ongoing work on the design of an online application to support standardized classification of collections of folk exhibits and contribute to the collections' management and promotion. The rationale behind this is the normalization of comparable and multilingual controlled terminologies and their parallelization with recognized schemata. The approach relies on the identification of the real needs of Greek museums, as depicted in the organization of their collections and the identification and exploitation of the terminological apparatus provided by the Greek language that expresses widely held conceptualizations serving museums as handy organization pathways. Results will contribute to the issue of openly available online resources by freely offering the collection (circa 600 terms) to interested parties and to the general public. From this point of view, the emphasis is mainly on term disambiguation and classification. The proposed application aspires to serve as a point of reference both for managing and for promoting cultural heritage in the field of tourism.},
