This is the archive of the goodrelations dicussion list

Dear all:

Since our recent new vocabularies and data sets are now properly 
included, GoodRelations elements are now among the most popular concepts 
on the Web of Data according to PingTheSemanticWeb:

Rank 3:     gr:ProductOrServiceModel
Rank 20:   gr:BusinessEntity
Rank 46:   gr:QualitativeValue

Only the long established FOAF person and document elements are used 
more frequently:

Rank 1:     http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person      19, 002, 417
Rank 2:     http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Document     4, 793, 253

Additional, more powerful datasets are under to be released shortly.

Note that there is a lot of room for additional growth. There are 
actually more than 19 million business entities in Europe alone, which 
are perfect candidates for gr:BusinessEntity, and they will each likely 
have anything between a few and several thousand instances of 
gr:Offering and gr:ProductOrServiceSomeInstacesPlaceholder.

Best

Martin
