QUATRO Plus is a two year follow-on project to QUATRO which started in October 2007. QUATRO Plus aims to build on the success of the original project which developed a universal machine-readable labelling platform by:

• Improving the existing technologies by making the communication processes more secure and robust and increasing the functionalities of the existing LADI and Viq tools
• Allowing end users to record and share their agreement or disagreement (opinions) with a label’s description
• Enabling end users to create their own labels to share with friends and associates
• Aggregating all available user-generated labels and opinions (without attribution) into an open source of data
• Developing simple to use tools for label creation
• Proving the benefits and potential of authenticated machine-readable labels to a variety of commercial interests across Europe including trustmark operators, awards bodies, portals, search engines and software manufacturers.

Additionally, QUATRO Plus will be fully compliant with the recommendation currently being developed by the W3C POWDER Working Group for content labels and which will be released later this year.
