Here's a summary of anticipated '''Consumerium Services]]''' | |||
:Ideally, Consumerium [[signal wiki]] would affect institutional and wholesale buyers at various times. [[Consumerium Service access]] could take place for instance at the point of decision about wholesale supply, or the setting of [[institutional buying criteria]]. But this is disciplined by the knowledge that end users will have similar access and be able to judge the intermediary or institution by their [[individual buying criteria]]. For those that have such criteria: | |||
:The [[Consumerium buying signal]] will most likely be seen by the [[end user]] as a [[red light|red]]/[[yellow light|yellow]]/[[green light]] traffic-type signal, or as a [[score]] easily translated into a [[price premium]], or as a note in [[Simple English]] about issues with, or merits of, the product. Release of this advice is keyed to [[bar code]]s or [[RFID]]s or [[NFC]]s (collectively, [[ID tag]]s. | |||
:There are several ways to connect back to front end: we may rely on frequently updated data embedded in hand-held devices, and/or dynamic retrieval via [[short-range wireless]] to the shelf front. Where possible, reasons for making buying decisions, or refusing a certain product, will go as [[feedback]] to the [[producer]]s. | |||
:Our back end relies on [[research wiki]] comments compiled by software using a [[wikitext standard]]. [[Consumerium Service access]] where web use is convenient may well include direct [[research edit]]ing, not just access to signals. ''See [[ConsuML]] and [[Consumerium:intermediate page format]] for more on this. [[Semantic link]] standards may be required also. To work out the conventions and issues involved, we are working through a [[development wiki]] which presently also performs the research functions (but not signals, we offer no buying advice here, yet).'' | |||
''This is that wiki. We invite you to participate by editing proposals and discussions below. Any page can be edited by anyone, or restored to a previous state by anyone, which is the convention we assume will also apply in operation.'' | |||

From the consumption perspective Consumerium is about enabling a shift from affective buying behaviour based on illusions to affective buying behaviour based on [[features|information]] on the social and environmental impacts of the production and naturally the perceived quality of the product. | From the consumption perspective Consumerium is about enabling a shift from affective buying behaviour based on illusions to affective buying behaviour based on [[features|information]] on the social and environmental impacts of the production and naturally the perceived quality of the product. | ||
