This is the archive of the goodrelations dicussion list

I may have missed to make clear the practical implications:

You can now use URIburner URIs when referring to a company in 
GoodRelations data, in particular for the subject making a gr:Offering 
statement, or as the object used with

@prefix crunchbase: 
<http://uriburner.com/about/html/http://uriburner.com/about/id/entity/http/www.crunchbase.com/company/> 
.

foo:myCar a ActualProductOrServiceInstance;
    gr:hasManufacturer crunchbase:bmw.


crunchbase:zappos gr:offers foo:Offering1.

foo:Offering1 a gr:Offering;
    gr:hasBusinessFunction gr:Sell;
    gr:includes foo:SomeShoes.

foo:SomeShoes a gr:ProductOrServicesSomeInstancesPlaceholder;
    rdfs:label "Shoes"@en;
    rdfs:description "All kinds of shoes."@en.


crunchbase:bmw [1] will be a reliable URI for the car maker BMW.

crunchbase:zappos [2] will be a reliable URI for the online shoe store 
Zappos (just bought by Amazon, as far as I know).

Best wishes
