Hi Dieter,
(I am copying the GoodRelations mailing list, because this question is  
likely of interest for a broader audience):

use the W3C Geo vocab or vCard geo properties (we do not define  
properties already available in popular vocabs), see

for the URI of their web page, use foaf:page or foaf:homepage

use rdfs:comment or gr:description (not shown in the doc, because it  
can be applied to any object.)

typically done by modeling an offer, i.e. if you just have a lexical  
representation of it, just attach an rdfs:label to the gr:Offering
You can also use the properties gr:hasISICv4 and gr:hasNAICS in  
combination with popular industry classification codes.

see my other mail - typically done by modeling an offer, i.e. if you  
just have a lexical representation of it, just attach an rdfs:label to  
the gr:Offering. A more granular solution is to model  
gr:ProductOrServiceModel instances and link them to an offer via  
gr:includes and to link to the company via gr:hasManufacturer

this is outside the scope of GoodRelations, but there may be  
respective properties defined already in the DBPedia schema or in  
ontologies derived from XBRL.
