==Planned Features to End User==
 
'''Introduction'''
 
In the starting phase of the project it is important to chart the possible features so that the demand analysis can be done as precisely as possible before work is begun on the markup language that describes products and their production process and on the software components.   
 
Below is a preliminary list of features and data to be delivered to the consumer. Each consumer can define to their [[Consumer Agent]] what information they wish to browse in an everyday situation and what criteria the Agent checks and compares automatically.  
 
All product analyses done by the system should yield such results that can be automatically compared against each other by the Agent. The agent bases its overall analysis on those precalculated analyses that the consumer has chosen as points of interest.  This necessarily implies having trusted mediators (NGOs mainly) who the consumer has chosen to trust, and which makes moral distinctions that the consumer cares about.
 
Information that has to be gathered about products and production processes and analyses and indicators based on the raw data (for all types of products eg. foodstuffs, clothing, household items etc.):
 
'''Essential Picks:''' [[Feedback]], [[Advertisement Video]]s, [[Workers' rights]], [[Energy Assessment]], [[Materials Assessment]], [[Recyclability]]

Assessment of environmental effects of the [[product group]] or [[commodity]] group. Attempts to  describe environmental effects common to all products of same product group. This is necessary, because it'll be very difficult to aquire this information for a reasonable amount of [[product]]s so we must do with generic assesments.

Possibility to watch [[Advertisement Video]]s and [[Informational Video]]s on the product and producer created by the [[producer]], [[import]]er or [[marketer]]. This requires terminals equipped with color displays and powerful video decoding features, which are projected to hit the mass markets in the first decennium of the 21st century. Big producers can utilize their tv-adverts with minor changes, so that they can be streamed to mobile terminals. Small producers enjoy the benfits of being able to convey marketing materials to consumers in a video-form with extremely low cost. Informational videos could deal with eg. working conditions, treatment of production animals and the enviromental and other principles of the company.

Automatic Product Comparison - price, grading, ecologicality and ethicality comparison to other similar products sold '''in the same store'''.
