GoodRelations - The Web Vocabulary for E-Commerce

This is the archive of the goodrelations dicussion list

GoodRelations is a standardized vocabulary for product, price, and company data that can (1) be embedded into existing static and dynamic Web pages and that (2) can be processed by other computers. This increases the visibility of your products and services in the latest generation of search engines, recommender systems, and other novel applications.

I may have missed to make clear the practical implications:

You can now use URIburner URIs when referring to a company in 
GoodRelations data, in particular for the subject making a gr:Offering 
statement, or as the object used with

@prefix crunchbase: 
<http://uriburner.com/about/html/http://uriburner.com/about/id/entity/http/www.crunchbase.com/company/> 
.

foo:myCar a ActualProductOrServiceInstance;
    gr:hasManufacturer crunchbase:bmw.


crunchbase:zappos gr:offers foo:Offering1.

foo:Offering1 a gr:Offering;
    gr:hasBusinessFunction gr:Sell;
    gr:includes foo:SomeShoes.

foo:SomeShoes a gr:ProductOrServicesSomeInstancesPlaceholder;
    rdfs:label "Shoes"@en;
    rdfs:description "All kinds of shoes."@en.


crunchbase:bmw [1] will be a reliable URI for the car maker BMW.

crunchbase:zappos [2] will be a reliable URI for the online shoe store 
Zappos (just bought by Amazon, as far as I know).

Best wishes
