Ingredient Hierarchy Integration Implementation

Implementation Date: March 14, 2026 Status: Phase 1-4 Complete

Overview

This document describes the implementation of ingredient hierarchy integration from MediaIngredientMech to CultureMech, enabling semantic structure for ingredient data with parent-child relationships, variant types, and functional roles.

Architecture

Data Flow

MediaIngredientMech Repository
  ├── ingredient_families.yaml    → Parent-child relationships
  ├── ingredient_roles.yaml       → Functional role assignments
  ├── ingredient_merges.yaml      → Merge mappings
  └── ingredient_variants.yaml    → Variant type definitions
         ↓
    HierarchyImporter (loads & indexes)
         ↓
    HierarchyEnricher (applies to recipes)
         ↓
CultureMech Recipes (enriched with hierarchy)

Conservative Approach

MediaIngredientMech maintains conservative chemical distinctions:

  • Hydrates ≠ Salts ≠ Base chemicals
  • Each variant tracked separately
  • Explicit parent-child relationships
  • No automatic merging of chemically distinct forms

Schema Changes

New Fields in IngredientDescriptor

parent_ingredient:
  description: Reference to parent chemical entity from MediaIngredientMech
  range: IngredientReference
  recommended: false
  inlined: true
  comments:
    - Links to canonical parent in MediaIngredientMech hierarchy
    - Example: CaCl2·2H2O → parent is "Calcium chloride"

variant_type:
  description: Type of chemical variant
  range: VariantTypeEnum
  recommended: false
  comments:
    - Describes relationship to parent (HYDRATE, SALT_FORM, ANHYDROUS, etc.)
    - Populated from MediaIngredientMech metadata

New Supporting Classes

IngredientReference:
  description: Reference to canonical ingredient
  attributes:
    preferred_term:
      description: Name of parent ingredient
      required: true
    mediaingredientmech_id:
      description: MediaIngredientMech ID
      range: string
      pattern: "^MediaIngredientMech:\\d{6}$"

New Enumerations

VariantTypeEnum:
  permissible_values:
    HYDRATE: Hydrated form of parent chemical
    SALT_FORM: Different salt form of parent chemical
    ANHYDROUS: Anhydrous form of parent chemical
    NAMED_HYDRATE: Named hydrate (monohydrate, heptahydrate, etc.)
    CHEMICAL_VARIANT: Other chemical variant of parent

Usage Examples

1. Import Hierarchy (Dry-Run)

python scripts/enrich_with_hierarchy.py \
  --mim-repo ~/MediaIngredientMech \
  --dry-run \
  --limit 10

2. Full Hierarchy Enrichment

python scripts/enrich_with_hierarchy.py \
  --mim-repo ~/MediaIngredientMech \
  --category bacterial \
  --report-output enrichment_report.yaml

3. Assign Roles

python scripts/assign_ingredient_roles.py \
  --mim-repo ~/MediaIngredientMech \
  --category bacterial

4. Validate Integration

python scripts/validate_hierarchy_integration.py \
  --mim-repo ~/MediaIngredientMech \
  --report-output validation_report.yaml

5. Generate Report

python scripts/generate_hierarchy_report.py \
  --output docs/ingredient_hierarchy.md

6. Using the Skill

# In Claude Code CLI
/manage-ingredient-hierarchy

Example Enriched Ingredient

Before enrichment:

preferred_term: Calcium chloride dihydrate
term:
  id: CHEBI:86124
  label: calcium chloride dihydrate
mediaingredientmech_term:
  id: MediaIngredientMech:000042
  label: Calcium chloride dihydrate
concentration:
  value: "0.1"
  unit: G_PER_L

After enrichment:

preferred_term: Calcium chloride dihydrate
term:
  id: CHEBI:86124
  label: calcium chloride dihydrate
mediaingredientmech_term:
  id: MediaIngredientMech:000042
  label: Calcium chloride dihydrate
parent_ingredient:
  preferred_term: Calcium chloride
  mediaingredientmech_id: MediaIngredientMech:000041
variant_type: HYDRATE
role:
  - MINERAL
  - SALT
concentration:
  value: "0.1"
  unit: G_PER_L

Key Design Decisions

  1. MediaIngredientMech as Source of Truth

    • All hierarchy and role decisions made in MediaIngredientMech
    • CultureMech imports and applies (does not define)

  2. Conservative Chemical Distinctions

    • Respects MediaIngredientMech's conservative approach
    • Hydrates ≠ salts ≠ base chemicals
    • Explicit parent-child relationships required

  3. Additive Schema

    • New fields are optional (recommended: false)
    • Backward compatible with existing recipes
    • No breaking changes to schema

  4. Batch Processing

    • Pipeline can process all recipes or filter by category
    • Progress reporting every 100 files
    • Dry-run mode for testing

  5. Validation First

    • Validate MediaIngredientMech data before applying
    • Check for orphaned/circular references
    • Verify enum values

Testing & Verification

Quick Verification Commands

# Count enriched ingredients
grep -r "parent_ingredient:" data/normalized_yaml/ | wc -l

# Count variant types
grep -r "variant_type:" data/normalized_yaml/ | wc -l

# Count role assignments
grep -r "^  role:$" data/normalized_yaml/ | wc -l

# Sample enriched ingredients
grep -A 5 "parent_ingredient:" data/normalized_yaml/bacterial/*.yaml | head -30

# Check for validation issues
python scripts/validate_hierarchy_integration.py \
  --mim-repo ~/MediaIngredientMech \
  --limit 100

Expected Coverage

Based on existing MediaIngredientMech linking:

  • Hierarchy coverage: 80-90% of ingredients with MIM IDs
  • Role coverage: 70-85% of ingredients with MIM IDs
  • Variant type coverage: 40-60% of ingredients (many are parents, not variants)

Future Enhancements

Potential Phase 5: Export & KG Integration

  • Export hierarchy to KGX format
  • Generate RDF triples for parent-child relationships
  • Create variant type edges in knowledge graph
  • Role-based ingredient queries

File to Create: src/culturemech/export/hierarchy_export.py

class HierarchyKGExporter:
    """Export ingredient hierarchy to KG format."""

    def export_to_kgx(self, output_path: Path):
        """Export as KGX edges.

        Relationships:
        - ingredient --has_parent--> canonical_ingredient
        - ingredient --has_variant_type--> variant_type
        - ingredient --has_role--> functional_role
        """

Troubleshooting

Issue: MediaIngredientMech hierarchy files not found

Solution: Ensure MediaIngredientMech repository has required files:

  • ingredient_families.yaml
  • ingredient_roles.yaml
  • ingredient_variants.yaml
  • ingredient_merges.yaml

Issue: Low enrichment coverage

Solution: First run MediaIngredientMech linking to add MIM IDs:

python scripts/link_mediaingredientmech.py --mim-repo ~/MediaIngredientMech

Issue: Validation errors

Solution: Update MediaIngredientMech repository to latest version:

cd ~/MediaIngredientMech && git pull origin main
