Hi Martin,

thanks for the updates.

Given the expanding choices available for shop software supporting
GoodRelations have any comparisons been done to help determine the best
option for a given scenario, e.g. type of store, ease of ongoing
administration, whether it will be a new store or adding GoodRelations
RDFa to an exiting store?

Also be interested in hearing of any in depth GoodRelations workshops or
tutorials happening over the next six months.

Cheers,

Richard


> Dear all:

> Thanks for your interest in the GoodRelations vocabulary for e-commerce.
> In the following, I would like to highlight a few recent developments:
>
> 1. As you likely know, Yahoo and Google are now officially recommending
> the use of GoodRelations in RDFa in order to provide rich site data for
> their index. I also heard rumors that Bing is closely monitoring this

> 2. Bojan Živanović is working on a very powerful GoodRelations extension
> for the Drupal Commerce module; it may become available in a few weeks or
> so. He presented an alpha version at the Drupal Devdays in Brussels:

>
> We are finalizing a new service that you can use to tell us and the world

> It's not yet officially released, but if you operate a Web shop, please
> submit the URI of your sitemap.xml file to that service, and we will make
> sure that your data gets index by all major semantic services.
