Tagliatelle: social tagging to encourage healthier eating
This paper describes the design and initial evaluation of Tag-liatelle, a collaborative tagging application for encouraging healthier eating. Users photograph their own meals and upload these photos to a website, where fellow users anonymously tag them for content. Initial results suggest that tagging of food content is a popular activity. However, further work must be done to automate the extraction of valid nutritional information from the tags generated.

Abstract

This paper describes the design and initial evaluation of
Tag-liatelle, a collaborative tagging application for
encouraging healthier eating. Users photograph their
own meals and upload these photos to a website,
where fellow users anonymously tag them for content.
Initial results suggest that tagging of food content is a
popular activity. However, further work must be done
to automate the extraction of valid nutritional
information from the tags generated.
