description:	Ontomatica's Crispiness Data Application integrates relevant ontology rules (items, properties, relationships and constraints) with relevant data sets. The Crispiness Data Application is used to specify crispness of an ingredient or food. Background: Crispiness or crispness is the gustatory sensation of brittleness in the mouth, such that the food item shatters immediately upon mastication. Crispiness differs from crunchiness in that a crunchy food continues to provide its material sensation after a few chews. On the other hand, a crispy food quickly loses the 'taut' equilibrium of its material, such as a tightly wrapped sausage. A delicately wrapped item is usually crisp, unlike such food items as loosely or unwrapped unfresh fruit or a wax-coated cheese. It is possible for a food to be crispy, crunchy, or both.
