| |
| − | Rel-Ecolabel is a simple, open, format for indicating ecolabelled items which is embedable in HTML or XHTML, Atom, RSS, and arbitrary XML.

| − | === Abstract ===
| |
| − | By adding rel="ecolabel" to a hyperlink, a page indicates that the destination of that hyperlink is the ecolabel for an ecolabelled item listed on the current page. E.g. with the following hyperlink:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <a href="http://ecolabelling.org/ecolabel/ecologo/" rel="ecolabel">ecologo</a>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | NOTE: in the highlighted portion - is this where we would put an ecolabel code or readable URL for ecolabelling.org entry?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | the author indicates that the product, company, or services has obtained an "ecologo" certification.

| − | It seems that it might work well with being linked to an hproduct / hCard - to identify a manufacturer - I've yet to explore hproduct in detail.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I don't know that pointing the URL of the ecolabel directly to www.ecolabelling.com would work.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If I ran a product site with ecolabelled products, I would want to point to either a source of information on the label internally within the site, or have it point to a list of all data tagged with similar ecolables.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <a href="http://myproductsite.org/ecolabel/ecologo/" rel="license">ecologo</a>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The destination would then show all '''ecologo''' tagged products within the catalogue of myproductsite.org
| |
| − |
| |
| − | maybe microformat parsing tools could be created to send users or pull information from www.ecolabelling.org site as a source of authoritative info and background on the label.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | rel-tag as an example can point to an internal site structure using a taxonomy but can also use microformat tools to extend data searches to sites like technorati.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Multiple Licenses ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Multiple such rel="ecolabel" hyperlinks indicate that multiple items on the page are available under any of the referred licenses. E.g. the following hyperlinks could be used to declare that a page is available under either an ecologo or a certified carbon free ecolabel:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <a href="http://ecolabelling.org/ecolabel/ecologo/" rel="ecolabel">ecologo</a>
| |
| − | <a href="http://ecolabelling.org/ecolabel/certified-carbonfree/" rel="ecolabel">certified-carbon-free</a>

Problem
It's difficult to authenticate eco-friendly goods and services online.
- The proposed solution below is not a solution to the above problem. The proposed solution offers a mechanism by which a service can claim an eco-friendly label, but no way of authenticating that claim.
Proposed Solution
It is premature to propose any brainstormed solution without first at a minimum per the process creating pages to research and collect ecolabel-examples and ecolabel-formats. Only then should proposals be drafted on a ecolabel-brainstroming page.
We are interested in establishing "rel-ecolabel" as a way of identifying ecolabelled (and thus eco-friendly) items (where item = ecolabel certified unit including products, services, companies, land, or any other thing that can be certified eco-friendly) on the World Wide Web.
