description:	Ontomatica's Arab Cuisine Data Application integrates relevant ontology rules (items, properties, relationships and constraints) with relevant data sets. The Arab Cuisine Data Application is used to specify food ingredients and preparation methods favored by an Arab culture. Background: Arab cuisine is defined as the various regional cuisines spanning the Arab world, from the Maghreb to the Levant and the Persian Gulf. The cuisines are often centuries old and resemble and culture of great trading in spices, herbs, and foods. The three main regions, also known as the Maghreb, the Levant, and the Khaleej have many similarities, but also many unique traditions. These kitchens have been influenced by the climate, cultivating possibilities, as well as trading possibilities. The kitchens of the Maghreb and Levant are relatively young kitchens which were developed over the past centuries. The kitchen from the Khaleej region is a very old kitchen. The kitchens can be divided into the urban and rural kitchens.
