goodrelations

Hi Keith, all:

What I would recommend is:

1. Create a URI for a product model, e.g.

foo:iPhone3GS-8GB a gr:ProductOrServiceModel ;
	.... features come in here ... ;
	foaf:page <URI of the main product page>.

2. Then, a document related to this product can be linked to that make and model via foaf:topic or foaf:primaryTopic:

foo:IPhoneFAQ a a foaf:Document;
	foaf:primaryTopic foo:iPhone3GS-8GB.

Best
Martin

But I am wondering if anyone on-list has insight into how semantic markup might be used/levered in knowledge base(KB) / knowledge-management domains, such as enterprise technical support. Clearly we could add product markup to KB articles _about_ a product. And that’s somewhat helpful all by itself. But concepts other than product are (usually) contained within – for example in our case, technologies, features, specifications, limitations, etc.

But I imagine that if all high-tech vendors (for example) whose products have to work together (Microsoft, Apple, IBM, Juniper, HP, Oracle etc) adopted such markup – it might eventually be easier for consumers  (in the literal sense) to find answers. (A simple example would be BestBuy being able to reference all articles at apple.com relevant to the iPad you’re browsing…but also even the articles at Juniper.net describing our iPad  app)
