This is the archive of the goodrelations dicussion list

Dear all:

The new German E-Commerce legislation requires listing shipment and 
delivery charges directly with the price per item.

This gives a nice showcase to illustrate the power of the GoodRelations 
vocabulary for exchanging offer data for affiliate business.

With a simply query as shown below, you could get the unit price 
(?pvalue) and the shipment charges (?svalue)  from your offer data.

# List offers that have unit price and delivery charge data

SELECT DISTINCT ?o, (?pvalue + ?svalue), ?pvalue, ?svalue, ?pcur WHERE {
?o a gr:Offering.
?o rdfs:label ?label.
?o gr:hasPriceSpecification ?p.
?p a gr:UnitPriceSpecification.
?p gr:hasCurrency ?pcur.
?p gr:hasCurrencyValue ?pvalue.
?o gr:hasPriceSpecification ?s.
?s a gr:DeliveryChargeSpecification.
?s gr:hasCurrency ?scur.
?s gr:hasCurrencyValue ?svalue.
FILTER (?pcur = ?scur)
}

You could also list all business entities whose offers are missing 
delivery charge data for at least one offer:

# List business entities whise offers lack delivery charge data

SELECT DISTINCT ?b, ?name {
?b a gr:BusinessEntity.
?b gr:legalName ?name.
?b gr:offers ?o.
?o a gr:Offering.
?o gr:hasPriceSpecification ?p.
?p a gr:UnitPriceSpecification.
OPTIONAL
{?o gr:hasPriceSpecification ?s.
?s a gr:DeliveryChargeSpecification.
?s gr:hasCurrency ?scur.
?s gr:hasCurrencyValue ?svalue.
}
FILTER (!BOUND(?s))
}
