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.

Dear all: Great news for GoodRelations: As of now, Yahoo will display price and offering details and other meta-data of any e-commerce Web page if the site owner uses the free GoodRelations vocabulary. Previously, such data was only used within special applications developed in the Yahoo ecosystem. Now, every site owner can add meta-data to enhance the search results of his offers in Yahoo. Just go to http://developer.search.yahoo.com/help/objects/product and click on the tab "RDFa - GoodRelation". The tool generates mark-up patterns for you to insert into your page. Thanks to Peter Mika and everybody at Yahoo for this initiative! It will for sure help lower the entrance barrier for any business to use Semantic Web technology in general and GoodRelations in particular. PS: We will shortly publish an step-by-step recipe in the GoodRelations Wiki at http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/wiki/GoodRelations Stay tuned!
