You can use gr:category multiple times for indicating multiple categories per product; those can be either hierarchical or flat strings:

<div typeof="gr:SomeItems vso:Canoe" about="#product">
  <span property="g:name">ACME Foldable Canoe</span>
  <div property="gr:category" content="Outdoors/Boats/Canoes"></div>
  <div property="gr:category" content="Sports"></div>
</div>

I recommend using one of the two properties foaf:depiction or schema:image. You can attach it either to the gr:ProductOrService or the gr:Offering.

Note that at this point Google does not show product images in Rich Snippets.

Hi Paul,

Not sure if I understood your questions and their context correctly.

Regarding 1), if by category you refer to the "gr:category" property
(http://www.heppnetz.de/ontologies/goodrelations/v1.html#category),
you can link more than one category to a particular product by
populating gr:category more than once.

For example, if we had a pair of shoes known as "Acme123", and we
wanted to link this shoe to two categories from the Product
Classification Scheme by Google
(http://www.google.com/basepages/producttype/taxonomy.en-US.txt) such
as "Walking Shoes" and "Sneakers", then we could use the following
snippet in Turtle:

@prefix ex: http://www.example.org/myshop/

ex:Acme123
    a gr:ProductOrService ;
    gr:category "Apparel & Accessories > Shoes > Athletic Shoes >
Walking Shoes"@en ;
    gr:category "Apparel & Accessories > Shoes > Sneakers"@en .

If there were even more applicable categories to the product
ex:Acme123, they could be also linked by adding the additional
gr:category triples accordingly.

Regarding 2), to specify an image associated to a product, the
property "foaf:depiction" (http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/#term_depiction)
is the one typically used in the GoodRelations vocabulary.

For example, if we had an image for our shoes ex:Acme123 stored at
<http://www.example.com/myshop/images/acme123.png>, we could link them
together as follows in the Turtle snippet below:

ex:Acme123
    a gr:ProductOrService ;
    foaf:depiction <http://www.example.com/myshop/images/acme123.png> .

I hope these quick, minimal examples can help.
Best regards,
Bene Rodriguez
