S-Code and ISO-Taste
S-Code is a sensory description and exchange schema. It describes when and how a food or sensory sample should present taste, smell, texture, mouthfeel, temperature, and sound. ISO-Taste manages reference profiles, public short codes, semantic structural codes, cultural / regional variants, calibration, and cross-system recognition. They can map to one another without becoming the same system.
