products and price information to the Web of Linked Data, using the
GoodRelations vocabulary for e-commerce. The data dump is updated on a
daily basis and contains detailed descriptions for roughly 450,000
individual items. With about 60 triples per item, this totals to about
27 million RDF triples.
