Dear all:

I was recently ask for an explanation on how GoodRelations can be used 
for new forms of affiliate marketing.

Here is my reply; it may be of use for other adopters of GoodRelations:

GoodRelations supports future forms of affiliate marketing in the 
following ways:

1. GoodRelations and linked commerce data on a Web scale allow a much 
more fine-grained and precise selection of potentially interesting 
offers for a given user in a given context-
2. GoodRelations, by means of the gr:seeks property, allows to publish 
wants for other agents or services to discover. This can e.g. be used in 
combination with the idea of "active semantic spaces" [1].

3. Goodrelations allows businesses to improve and republish existing RDF 
data of offers or want and create a "toll road" if that improvement is 
actually used by means of rdfs:seeAlso and gr:relatedWebService in 
combination with a newly created URI.

For resolving that new URI, i.e. getting back to the original one, the 
creator of the improvement can e.g. charge a small fee.
