Description:

ConsuML stands for Consumerium Markup Language.

Consumerium is a not-for-profit project, developed under GFDL license, to develop free software and infrastructure for storage, transport and display of product information to consumers and feedback to the producers to enhance the consumer experience, advance product development and to keep this planet as hospitable as possible in the future.

The goal of ConsuML development is to produce an XML tag schema that can be used to markup information about

• natural and infrastructural services underlying products from resource extraction to production and distribution to Point of Sale
• specific products and their features and product group schemes,
• companies and other real organisations and their interrelations
• virtual communities with common buying guidelines and their democratic governance
• individual persons paying respect to their privacy,
• production, trade, logistic, environmental, labor and financial processes,
• Temporal information (times, timelines) and spatial information (geographic) and the composition of these with other data mentioned here
• opinions, facts and arguments regarding buying decisions and their actual effects
• feedback regarding services offered by companies

for use in the Consumerium-project and other applicable Point of Sale applications paying special attention to maintaining the historical data so that when the current data is changed the historical state is preserved for retrospection and

• XSLT-transformations to facilitate data-interchange with other information systems or languages used to express similar or related information, such as ebXML and IXRetail
