*[[XML/DTD/product_group.dtd]] I've done some work on product_group.dtd, but it's not working. I'm thinking that product_group-nodes could be arranged to multiple trees ([[production]] tree, [[product substitution]] tree) and directed networks to reflect the different roles of a product_group in different contexts.

Spacetime is critical to match suppliers and buyers of non-offensive goods in space and time, without which, buyers may have no choice but to buy offensive goods.  It is critical also to identifying borders of natural ecoregions as they exist or as they are degraded over time.  This is useful to graphically show the impacts e.g. of [[w:deforestation]].


*[[m:ecoregion_DTD]] (This is a great idea and has to be implemented in [[Cium]])
Ecoregion is critical since an export of exactly the same consumer good from one ecological region may be harmless or even constructive, while an export of the same good from another may be devastating, e.g. exporting water from arid regions versus those with icebergs, e.g. exporting pulp wood from tropical forests versus managed temperate tree farms, e.g. cattle living on former deforested rainforest land versus natural pasture.

==Persons==
 
All persons could have a double identity in consumerium. One of a [[employee]] (participating in an production process) and one of a [[consumer]] (participating in consumption). Some people have multiple jobs simultaneously and this must be taken into account. These different roles can be unconnectable or unified if the person desires so.  
===persons ===
*[[m:person_DTD]] (controversial to [[w:wikipedians]], less so for [http://disinfopedia.org disinfopedians] and some [[NGO]]s - overkill for cium?)
 
Identifying individual people unambiguously is more controversial, a two-edged sword. Some activists like [http://amnesty.org Amnesty] and [http://greenpeace.org Greenpeace] do it often, for what they consider clear moral purposes.  Other projects like [http://wikipedia.org Wikipedia] have less clear purposes and thus less excuse for "outing" or "shaming".  This is not an easy issue for consumerium: 
 
On the one hand certain individuals like [[person X]] and [[person Y]] are engaged in a vast number of unpopular activities, and many would choose to have nothing to do with an enterprise that they profited from.  Being sure that the activity is associated with them is impossible without some clear way of identifying individuals and their interests - there is danger that innocents will be targetted if identification is not clear.  On the other hand, there is reason to fear "witchhunts" and "dossiers" on ordinary individuals, and automation of person-tracking and identification certainly makes this easier.
 
However, some means of standardizing references to persons seems to be underway in some projects, e.g. wikipedia, anyway.  Consumerium may not be able to igore them.  There are also reasons to identify "noble" individuals for merit or recognition, e.g. [http://www.disinfopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=James_Gustave_Gus_Speth disinfopedia's naming of reliable sources e.g. James Speth].  This can be important to validate information to be used in buying decisions, e.g. [http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIPAESA as the 'authority' in TIPAESA structures].

Also XML tags may not be the only or best place to express some standards, e.g. [http://act.greenpeace.org/996755792/1007012854/1007026932/1007232560/1007335070/1007763497/1007763704/1007766148/1007777103/1007853930/1007859532/1008468120/1008930052/1008933882/1010349645/1010351347/1015651781/1015703516/1015709328/index_html ecoregion DNS entries] or the [http://wiktionary.org dictionary] also express name-spaces for public use, and may be more appropriate for nouns or verbs useful more generally than consumerium.
