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.

Title
===
Real Business Impact for the Semantic Web: GoodRelations & RDFa for Deep 
Comparison Shopping on a Web Scale

Abstract
=======
In less than a year since its official release, the GoodRelations 
vocabulary for e-commerce has received huge interest from practitioners 
and researchers alike. GoodRelations has already been adopted by Yahoo, 
BestBuy, OpenLink Software, and other major players, and is supported by 
popular Web shop applications like osCommerce and the Joomla/Virtuemart 
combo. For the first time in history, we can expect a massive amount of 
real-world data expressed using a rich vocabulary compliant with the 
state-of-the art in W3C Semantic Web technology.

In this talk, I will explain the technological foundations and the 
business implications of GoodRelations for e-business experts, CTOs and 
CIOs, Web developers, and basically anybody who wants to be found on the 
Web. I will also show details on the massive growth of real-world data, 
sketch business models for affiliate marketing, and give an overview of 
available on-line resources and tools for adding GoodRelations support 
to your business model.
