The idea for ORDB was heavily inspired by OpenFoodFacts.
tldr; I want to create a public open database of recipes for everyone to (re-)use freely.
There are many forms of recipes. Some recipes are published by large cookbook companys or are published with a long intro text as a Blog Post. Others were written and shared on 'social media'-like plattforms.
Yes - you can access and cook most of these recipes pretty easily, but they are basically privately owned content by a company. This makes it hard to analyze and work with this data on a variety on purposes. I want to create a public open database of recipes for everyone to (re-)use freely. Ideally already existing OpenSource Cookbook applications could allow you to upload your and use other users recipes - as a shared RecipeDatabase between different software solutions.
For people who want to share their family recipes to the world. For translating into multiple languages without borders. For scientists to work with.
