Roadmap

• We got an ambitious plan for Open Products Facts financed. We're looking for additional funding, but we're going to start work on the upgrade, and revamp.
• We're positioning it around the circular economy

Action 1 - A web platform for all products

1. start of the Open Products Facts revamp. Open Products Facts is the first building block of the project: it is the open database of products and their characteristics.
2. Design and testing of the database revamp and technical architecture.
3. Modularization and sharing of the source code of Open Food Facts and Open Products facts. Deployment of Open Products Facts.
4. automatic deployment of development and production environments

Action 2 - Universal mobile app for Open Products Facts

1. Carry out the technical modernization of Open Products Facts mobile app: replace the Android version currently deployed with the new multi-platform technology deployed for food, by adapting all of the code to non-food, and deploy an iPhone and iPad version. This paves the way for a merger of apps to maximize user synergies as soon as everything is stabilized.
2. Set up the mobile part of flexible and scalable product modeling which allows any product to be modeled (Folksonomy Engine)
3. Add an ad-hoc mobile interface based on Folksonomy Engine to allow the calculation of the product reparability index (because the latter is particularly relevant for goods that are changed regularly, notably mobiles and tablets)

Action 3 - Unlock usage value

1. Adding documents (eg manuals)
2. Scores - Repairability index field
3. Expandable catalog of solutions by category based on Knowledge Panel Facets
4. Broad communication on the potential for innovation in the use of Open Products Facts

Brainstorm (old)

• Load the Base Carbone from ADEME into Open Product Facts to give a carbon impact approximation for some categories in France.
• Find if there are any API for resale websites to pre-fill a new listing
• Instruction Manual URLs
