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This wiki is full of silly article naming and outdated information and all sorts of historical garbage we are dragging along so I thought I'll do some thinking aloud here so maybe some of us can make sense of what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 ;)
First I'll lay out the cornerstones, which are
- Content Wiki
- The Consumerium Exchange or TCE
- Backend
- Delievery Engine
Now the real question what is the function/responsibility of each cornerstone, and how do they interrelate...
Duties:
Content Wiki
- Interface and storage of Facts in Wikicode
The Consumerium Exchange
- Interface, storage, archiving and valuation of popularity for Opinions in ConsuML
Backend
- 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
