User:Juxo/Thiking aloud

This wiki is full of silly article naming and outdated information and all sorts of historical garbage we are dragging along so I thought I'll do some thinking aloud here so maybe some of us can make sense of what building blocks go where and why and how they interlock and where do we get cash and a van to get cement and how do we mix it and how importantly how to avoid stepping into it while wet ;)

CORNERSTONES

First I'll lay out the cornerstones, which are

The Content Wiki
The Consumerium Exchange or TCE
The Consumerium Vault or
The Delievery Engine

Now the real question what is the function/responsibility of each cornerstone, and how do they interrelate...

Content Wiki

Interface and storage of Facts in Wikicode

The Consumerium Exchange

Interface, storage, archiving and valuation of popularity for Opinions in ConsuML

The Consumerium Vault

Certification Authority
Verification, Authentication, Audit, Storage and Interface to ConsuML information (except for the information handled by TCE)
Interfaces with XML datasources like GEPIR
Information in TCE and Content wiki is matched according to backend information

Delievery Engine

Fetches, delievers (and caches when applicable) Advertisement Videos and Informational Videos and keeps track of views for billing purposes
Merges and delievers information from The Content Wiki, The Consumerium Exchange and The Backend + sensitive price data from Point-of-Sale systems and performs formatting, selection and transformation according to the preferences of the consumer
