From martin.hepp at ebusiness-unibw.org Thu Dec 1 21:47:28 2011 From: martin.hepp at ebusiness-unibw.org (Martin Hepp) Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2011 21:47:28 +0100 Subject: [goodrelations] Modeling value dependencies and complex quantitative values with GoodRelations Message-ID: <6422CC02-1227-4FEB-91E6-1574ED915B35@ebusiness-unibw.org> Dear all: When modeling product features, we sometimes encounter composite values, like ? "1024 x 768 pixels resolution", ? "8 litre of gasoline per 100 km/h", or ? "a pressure of 101.325 kPa at 20 ?C" . I just created a Wiki page that explains the usage of GoodRelations for such cases: http://wiki.goodrelations-vocabulary.org/Documentation/Structured_values_and_value_references By the way, this pattern is heavily used in the Volkswagen Vehicle Ontology, http://purl.org/vvo/ns which is a Volkswagen-specific extension of GoodRelations.

This may speed-up the whitelisting process for Rich Snippets, i.e. you may get Rich Snippets for your products faster when you tell Google of your GoodRelations-empowered site. Here is the URI: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/request.py?contact_type=rich_snippets_feedback For the question "Does your site use hidden markup?", answer * "yes" if you are using a shop extension like Magento MSemantic. Other than Google indicates on the pages, this markup is perfectly accepted by Google unless you use it for manipulative purposes. As an explanation, you can post: "Our site uses RDFa in the GoodRelations snippet-style, because this is the only feasible way of adding respective markup automatically via a shop extension module. We are using the module; our shop runs on ." For the question, "What markup format does your site use?", check * RDFa In general, we see now pretty quick and broad acceptance of rich snippets for shops with GoodRelations markup.

The module is available here: http://addons.prestashop.com/de/seo/3866-goodrelations.html (you need to register to the Prestashop community system in order to see the download link) There are installation instructions in English and French and the user interface is available in English, French, and German. It should take only about 15 minutes to get this up and running, so this is by far the simplest way of adding GoodRelations support to a Prestashop. A demo shop is at http://shop.goodrelations.pl/ Kudos to the Makolab team for implementing this! Please spread the word to site-owners running Prestashop!

Today, I found a shop that added GoodRelations ca. five days ago (!) and is already showing Rich Snippets in Google. See the illustration at http://yfrog.com/hsf45sp for details. The shop obviously uses the new free extension for Prestashop [1], developed by Makolab in Poland. Similar results should be obtainable using the other free extensions from [2], e.g. for Magento, Joomla/Virtuemart, OXID eShop, or for a Tradoria.de shop. I personally think that one of the reasons for the much faster than usual activation of Rich Snippets for this shop is the fact that Prestashop has pretty good XML sitemap support on board, which allows Google to crawl the shop faster with less resources and thus helps updating the index faster. See http://asiavshop.de/sitemap.xml The critical aspect of a good XML sitemap is that it uses the "lastmod" attribute properly for indicating which pages changed when: http://asiavshop.de/sushi/92-sushi-reis-1kg-shinode-8005734100059.html 0.7 2011-12-15 weekly Best wishes Martin Hepp [1] http://addons.prestashop.com/de/seo/3866-rich-snippets-and-semantic-seo-with-goodrelations.html [2] http://wiki.goodrelations-vocabulary.org/Shop_extensions -------------------------------------------------------- martin hepp e-business & web science research group universitaet der bundeswehr muenchen e-mail: hepp at ebusiness-unibw.org phone: +49-(0)89-6004-4217 fax: +49-(0)89-6004-4620 www: http://www.unibw.de/ebusiness/ (group) http://www.heppnetz.de/ (personal) skype: mfhepp twitter: mfhepp Check out GoodRelations for E-Commerce on the Web of Linked Data! ================================================================= * Project Main Page: http://purl.org/goodrelations/ From ric at betleywhitehorne.com Thu Dec 29 17:33:25 2011 From: ric at betleywhitehorne.com (Richard Le Poidevin) Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2011 16:33:25 +0000 Subject: [goodrelations] Real Estate Spec Message-ID: <4EFC9655.1040507@betleywhitehorne.com> Hello, Can you tell me when the Real Estate spec will be available please.
