ref=identifier of the manufacturer to be cross-referenced

Via <manufacturerref ref="id_of_manufacturer_to_be_cross-referenced"/> access to data stored under this identifier is possible. By means of this it is possible to enter a manufacturer's data only once. Afterwards simply a cross-reference is needed.
