Dear all:

We are close to release a 2009-07-18 service update of GoodRelations.
The new version is not yet online, but I wanted to align with you on
advance.

The full change-log (preview) is at

http://tr.im/sFCp

All changes are minimal and should not create incompatibilities
with existing data. Please let me know if you foresee any problems or
have concerns.

The following things may be of particular interest for you:

1. The new gr:seeks property for modeling the buy side.

2. The new gr:includes property is a nice shortcut for the 90% of the
cases where only a single item of a certain product is in the offering.
In the past, you were forced to introduce a TypeAndQuantityNode with a
quantity of 1.0 and a unit of "C62".

This may simplify RDFa markup in particular.

However, note that this is just a shortcut and we recommend using a
simple SPARQL rule like

#rule for new includes property
PREFIX gr: <http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#>

CONSTRUCT {
_:n rdf:type gr:TypeAndQuantityNode.
_:n gr:AmountOfThisGood "1.0"^^xsd:float.
_:n gr:hasUnitOfMeasurement "C62"^^xsd:string.
?a gr:includesObject _:n .
_:n gr:typeOfGood ?b.}

WHERE

{?a rdf:type gr:Offering.
?b rdf:type gr:ProductOrService.
?a gr:includes ?b}

for creating the long, canonical form.

3. A new property for inventory levels, attached to
gr:ProductsOrServicesSomeInstancesPlaceholder

http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#hasInventoryLevel

4. Disjointness axioms for the core classes.


Best
