A '''label''' is a generic [[brand]]-like mark, e.g. [[union made]] or [[vegan]] or [[organic]] or [[kosher]], [[halal]] or [[Slow Food]] or [[dolphin-free]] or [[no old growth]], which is shared by many producers who agree to a common standard of production behaviour and potential [[audit]] of this behaviour. | A '''[[w:label|label]]''' is a generic [[brand]]-like mark, e.g. [[union made]] or [[vegan]] or [[organic]] or [[kosher]], [[halal]] or [[Slow Food]] or [[dolphin-free]] or [[no old growth]], which is shared by many producers who agree to a common standard of production behaviour and potential [[audit]] of this behaviour. | ||
Consumerium will ultimately have such labels or be useful to those who define such labels, or be part of their [[audit process]], since it will contain information sufficient to say whether the product does not meet a standard. In this way Consumerium is like the [[Better Business Bureau]] and has [[social capital]] with the community of consumers just like they do. It preserves this by making itself not useful to cheaters and frauds who just make up labels or dilute existing ones. | Consumerium will ultimately have such labels or be useful to those who define such labels, or be part of their [[audit process]], since it will contain information sufficient to say whether the product does not meet a standard.
