currently, any relationship between a business entities and its members 
except for contact details it outside the scope of goodrelations. i 
think that using foaf or other existing vocabs for that is the best 
approach.

in the next annotator release, we will make using eclassOWL an option 
only and recommend dbpedia URIs in the first place.
(once eclassOWL is cached, dereferencing should be faster, anyway)

there is also a major update (6.0) planned for later this year. we will 
give up the monolithic approach of having one super-large file for the 
sake of a more granular way of serving the ontology definitions.

i also think that in the future, many business will describe what they 
are offering by textual elements attached to a 
ProductOrServiceSomeInstancesPlaceholder node. This means they can 
easily populate from semistructured product databases. On the other 
hand, it narrows down the NLP part of matchmaking to a much smaller 
problem - you will know that the node is a ProductOrService instead of 
having large chunks of text.

The tutorial was recorded and will be published at videolectures.net 
shortly (full length with slides).

Also, the Web page will shortly be updated.

Note that we have similar tutorials at IEEE CEC 09 in Vienna (July 20), 
ACM/IEEE WI /IAT 09 in Milan, and a pending proposal to ISWC09.
