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: I can report on the first confirmed page with GoodRelations + RDFa rich meta-data that shows up in Yahoo with additional details: URI: http://tr.im/yahooproduct2 Screenshot attached. The price of $ 34.99 comes directly from the RDFa markup, as described in the recipe at http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/wiki/GoodRelations_and_Yahoo_SearchMonkey Thanks to Peter Mika, Evan Goer, and Kevin Haas for their hard work in fine-tuning the parsing & processing. Theoretically, there should also be the product image next to the search result; we are currently working on fixing that, too. But the good news is: There is now a crystal-clear, easy-to-communicate incentive for any webmaster in the world to add price and product descriptions using GoodRelations in RDFa to all pages. Please spread the word!
