<br>
BestBuy.com has just started to serve a complete RDF/XML dump of their<br>
products and price information to the Web of Linked Data, using the<br>
GoodRelations vocabulary for e-commerce. The data dump is updated on a<br>
daily basis and contains detailed descriptions for roughly 450,000<br>
individual items. With about 60 triples per item, this totals to about<br>
27 million RDF triples.<br>

Other than many existing large RDF transcripts, the data very dynamic,<br>
holding the daily prices for all items.<br>
According to Wikipedia, BestBuy.com is the largest specialty retailer of<br>
consumer electronics in the United States accounting for 19% of the market.<br>
<br>
It is likely the first Fortune 500 company to start publishing offer<br>
details on the Web of Linked Data.<br>
<br>
Congratulations to Jay Myers from BestBuy.com for this excellent<br>
