I guess the rational approach to figuring the syntax for articles would be to go over the features and see how they could be expressed in Wiki without losing the possibility to do automated assesments over several articles to provide statistics. Sure there can be conventions on general wording. Example:
Product [[Product:Product Y|]] identified by [[GTIN:SomeGTINString|]] belongs to groups [[ProductGroup:A|]] and [[ProductGroup:B|]] and is produced by [[Company:Company X|]]
and so forth but the problem arising is how this scales with the goal of Consumerium functioning in all major languages.
Also ConsuML development should not cease totally, but be more of an compliment to the Wiki front.
I wonder how could it be possible to sort of "melt" together Wiki and XML systems so that the Wiki provides ease of editing and the XML provides rigidness and longevity. I have nothing concrete on this issue but I'll keep on thinking about it
- Just came to my mind that a hybrid model where part of the article is generated from ConsuML data and the rest is pure wiki might be the most robust solution for content.
