Dear all,

if you are trying to install the GoodRelations extension for osCommerce 
on an existing instance, the following information from Alex Stolz may 
be  useful:

unfortunately, a listing of code replacements is currently not available
yet. But I can give you a work-around.

1. RDF/XML dump output:
The setup of the RDF/XML data output is a straightforward process, for a
modified store as well. You just have to proceed the same like explained
in the manual, because RDF/XML output is located in a separate folder
and doesn't change anything to the Web shop system (except the provision
of a link tag in the template header that points to the RDF/XML-file).
So setting up RDF/XML output for a modified osCommerce system should not
pose an issue.

2. RDFa attributes embedded in XHTML:
The more cumbersome task is when you consider publishing your products
with RDFa - which is currently better supported by Semantic Web search
engines like Yahoo SearchMonkey. Then you have to modify some code
fragments in the template. I propose using "diff" to see the
modifications between the Semantic Web-modified version of the template
and the original osCommerce template. When comparing the modified RDFa
folder in the Semantic Web extension against the original osCommerce
sources, diff reports differences that I added as txt-files to the
attachments. In there you can see the line numbers in the original that
were modified.

I hope this helps!

Regards,
Alex
