Thank you for your answer!
I am glad to know I can use it, I will look into that.

I am happy but confused. The GoodRelations webpage appears very
misleading to me:
1) Motto is "GoodRelations The ontology for E-Commerce"
2) "the representational means required for e-commerce on the Semantic Web"
3) The general term used for businesses/etc is "Web resources"
4) "describing the types of goods and terms and conditions of items
and services offered on the Web": it is not obvious that "on the Web"
refers to "describing" and not to "offered".

The Semantic Web describes the world. The tiny pub near my place will
probably never do any e-commerce, but I want to describe it in the
Semantic Web. I am glad GoodRelations allows me to do it, but why does
it mentions e-commerce everywhere?

Cheers,
Nicolas.
