GoodRelations is a standardized vocabulary for product, price, and company data that can (1) be embedded into existing static and dynamic Web pages and that (2) can be processed by other computers. This increases the visibility of your products and services in the latest generation of search engines, recommender systems, and other novel applications.

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.
Best
