GoodRelations - The Web Vocabulary for E-Commerce

This is the archive of the goodrelations dicussion list

GoodRelations is a standardized vocabulary for product, price, and company data that can (1) be embedded into existing static and dynamic Web pages and that (2) can be processed by other computers. This increases the visibility of your products and services in the latest generation of search engines, recommender systems, and other novel applications.

You can use this annotation property for indicating a preferred order for the rendering of various types of data. 
A typical example is defining an order for product attributes in a domain extension for GoodRelations.

For instance, if you follow the recipe at

     http://wiki.goodrelations-vocabulary.org/Documentation/Extensions


and define new product properties like

# Properties
foo:hasOperatingVoltage
    a owl:ObjectProperty ;
    rdfs:domain default:TVSet ;
    rdfs:range gr:QuantitativeValueInteger ;
    rdfs:subPropertyOf gr:quantitativeProductOrServiceProperty .
 
foo:hasVideoInput
    a owl:DatatypeProperty ;
    rdfs:domain default:TVSet ;
    rdfs:range xsd:boolean ;
    rdfs:subPropertyOf gr:datatypeProductOrServiceProperty .

then you may want to say that the operating voltage should typically be shown first by a client by adding the statements

foo:hasOperatingVoltage gr:displayPosition "1"^^xsd:integer .
foo:hasVideoInput gr:displayPosition "2"^^xsd:integer .

A client should (but does not have to) order property values by the ordering relation of indicated by gr:displayPosition, if present.

Note that this simple mechanism does allow only a single, global order at the vocabulary level.

The initial reason to introduce gr:displayPosition was that you often need to create a tabular list of opening hours per day of the week, which is difficult only on the basis of gr:hasNext and gr:hasPrevious links between the days of the week. Thus, all days of the week in GoodRelations have a gr:displayPosition property with Mo = 1, Tue = 2, Wed = 3, ..., Sun = 7.

# Example in Turtle syntax

gr:Monday a gr:DayOfWeek;
	gr:displayPosition 1;
...
	rdfs:label "Monday (day of week)"@en.

gr:Tuesday a gr:DayOfWeek;
	gr:displayPosition 2;
...
	rdfs:label "Tuesday (day of week)"@en.

etc.

This allows simple SPARQL queries like

SELECT DISTINCT(?day), ?pos WHERE 
{ ?day a gr:DayOfWeek . 
  ?day gr:displayPosition ?pos. } 
ORDER BY ?pos

which will return this nicely ordered list

day							pos
http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#Monday			1
http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#Tuesday		2
http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#Wednesday		3
http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#Thursday		4
http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#Friday			5
http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#Saturday		6
http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#Sunday			7
http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#PublicHolidays		8

If you use nested SPARQL queries, you can nicely create an ordered table of opening hours on the basis of gr:displayPosition.

Hope that helps.

Best wishes

Martin Hepp
