Originally the plan was to store information in [[XML]] and rely heavily on systemic checks on data at entry time. Nowerdays the plan has shifted to utilizing [[wiki]]s and peer-review for accuracy. | Originally the plan was to store information in [[XML]] and rely heavily on systemic checks on data at entry time.

We are aiming to get [[Consumerium Services]] into the shelf front where the purchasing decisions are made, but it looks much more likely that we are going to focus on enabling changing repeat-buy behaviour, so called [[Checkout Consumerium]] where you grab the [[product identification]] information to your cell phone via [[Near Field Communication]] and then | We are aiming to get [[Consumerium Services]] into the shelf front where the purchasing decisions are made, but it looks much more likely that we are going to focus on enabling changing repeat-buy behaviour, so called [[Checkout Consumerium]] where you grab the [[product identification]] information to your cell phone via [[Near Field Communication]] and then touch your home computer to examine alternate consumption choices. | ||

==What's going on?== | |||
It's mostly about some [[POVs|view point disagreements]] and disagreements about various [[ISMs]]. Also opposition for re-introduction of [[Opinion Wiki]] into the total plan of how to make this workable in the real world is heated. | |||
Much attention is needed to define the [[Consumerium:Intermediate page types]] to enable [[Consumerium:We|us]] to launch a [[Research Wiki pilot]]. Also [[Simple model for expressing opinions]] (within Research Wiki) should be sanity checked and details scrutinized in the light of usability and software performance. | |||

Currently [[research]] is dispersed to multiple sites such as [[Wikipedia]] for generic, encyclopedic information, [[CorpKnowPedia]] for information on corporations and [[Wiktionary]] for translation needs. This is not a problem since all points of research are licensed under [[GFDL]] | Currently [[research]] is dispersed to multiple sites such as [[Wikipedia]] for generic, encyclopedic information, [[CorpKnowPedia]] for information on corporations and [[Wiktionary]] for translation needs.

Note: there is no [[ontological distinction]] between research and opinion: research is the opinion of a researcher. And anyone can be a "researcher". | Note: there is no [[ontological distinction]] between research and opinion: research is the opinion of a researcher. And anyone can be a "researcher". Thus, opinions are indistinguishable from other forms of research - except that one could say "facts are research, and analysis is opinion." | ||
There's some question of what to do with [[Critical Point of View]] articles that don't even pretend to be [[NPOV|neutral]]. These are part of "research" but must be clearly marked - maybe awaiting [[answer recommendation]] filters? | |||
They are often drawn from outside text, maybe via [[corpus import]], e.g.[[campaign]]s for and against some entity: [[company]], [[product group]], [[product|individual product]], [[area]] ([[country]], [[ecoregion]]. They may be a piece of [[advertising]] which is clearly promotional. | |||
Separating them is unwise. An opinion starts as the lowest-credibility form of research, undergoes [[TIPAESA]] debate, and those who provide it will often be engaged with the [[Lowest Troll]] to determine if the authors or transmitters or republishers are [[funded troll]]s being paid to trash or promote some commercial service. But no one will volunteer to separate "research" from "opinion" and to do so simply creates unaccountable [[sysop power structure]]. | |||
