RecipeML

RecipeML is an XML vocabulary for representing recipes . RecipeML is designed to facilitate the transfer of recipes around the Web. RecipeML was originally developed by FormatData and was originally known as DESSERT, (Document Encoding and Structuring Specification for Electronic Recipe Transfer).  Today others in the food industry have joined FormatData to develop RecipeML.   This XML vocabulary addresses the requirements of individuals, restaurants, food manufacturers and both electronic and print publishers to use the language to store, exchange, and publish recipe content.  The ultimate goal is to make it easy to transfer ingredients from recipes directly to the consumer's shopping list. With this technology on a hand-held computing device like a PDA or Web-enabled phone, the 'heroic mom' can make better use of her shopping time.
