You can (but don't have to) use an additional vocabulary for describing product classes and features in more detail.
Compatible Vocabularies for Products and Services
- The Product Ontology FEATURED
- More than 300,000 very precise class definitions for all types of products
- http://www.productontology.org

Creating New Vocabularies for Products and Services
For specific vertical industries, it may be useful to create your own vocabulary/ontology for types of goods and services and their features.
- A detailed explanation on what to observe is here:

http://www.heppnetz.de/ontologies/examples/toy
Consolidated Dataspace for Linked Open Commerce
If you want to use GoodRelations data for your application, you don't have to collate all the bits and pieces from Web sites on your own. The Linked Open Commerce data cloud endpoints at
provide a consolidated view on a large share of all available commerce data on the Web.
Examples in the Wild
GoodRelations is experiencing very fast adoption and it is impossible to give a complete list of resources using GoodRelations. However, below is a list of prominent examples.
Major Datasets
Store and Offer Data
- CSN Stores has GoodRelations markup in > 2,000,000 item pages
- Example: http://www.csnstores.com/Cuisinart-DFP14BCN-CUI1116.html
- Sitemap index: http://www.csnstores.com/SiteMapIndex.xml
- Overstock.com has added GoodRelations in RDFa to all of their ca. 900,000 item pages (ca. 30 Mio triples)
- BestBuy has GoodRelations markup in 450,000 item descriptions, which are updated on a daily basis
- BestBuy is now publishing detailed information on "open-box" items (e.g. products used in the showroom or returned) and their discounted prices on a per-store level (!) in GoodRelations and RDFa. In other words, you can now check which discounted refrigerators are available in your favourite BestBuy store.
- Sitemap index: http://stores.bestbuy.com/openbox-sitemaps.
- Note that as of March 20, 2010, only 54 of the 1000+ stores are participating, but this is expected to rise quickly.
- A detailed report and background info is available from Jay Myer's blog
- BestBuy has already released details on ALL 1000+ stores in the US using GoodRelations. Fetch
http://stores.bestbuy.com/sitemap.xml
or simply query
http://lod.openlinksw.com/sparql - http://www.shopforia.com/ uses GoodRelations in RDFa for 104,000 items in 26 categories (only on the individual items pages):
- Example: http://www.shopforia.com/cgi-bin/apf4/apf4.cgi?Operation=ItemLookup&ItemId=B003DRBA3S
- Sitemap: http://www.shopforia.com/sitemap.xml (the sitemap seems incomplete at this stage)
- A complete sitemap can be reconstructed by crawling
- http://www.shopforia.com/cgi-bin/apf4/apf4.cgi?SearchIndex=<Category>&ItemPage=<n> with n = 1...400 for Category = Apparel, Beauty etc. and
- extracting all of the item links, which follow the pattern
- http://www.shopforia.com/cgi-bin/apf4/apf4.cgi?Operation=ItemLookup&ItemId=<ASIN>, with ASIN = e.g. B0009RL86E
- O'Reilly has started to add GoodRelations in RDFa to their production Web site. To our knowledge, all individual book pages like http://oreilly.com/catalog/<ID> contain GoodRelations in RDFa (in total ca. 25,000 pages):
- Example: http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596007683
- Sitemap: http://oreilly.com/sitemap.xml (Note: This returns a compressed file, mind the content encoding of the representation)
- Amazon's catalog of 20 Million items is available in RDF / GoodRelations (4 billion triples) via the OpenLink Software sponger technology, as described in http://ebusiness-unibw.org/pipermail/goodrelations/2010-January/000175.html
- Austrian Building and Construction Materials data (60 million triples)
- C-Paintings, an online store for hand-made oil paintings and framed art with 20,000 items described using GoodRelations in RDFa
- http://www.jarltech.de is exposing its full catalog with ca. 4,000 auto-ID products in RDF/XML (updated several times a week!)
http://www.jarltech.de/goodrelations.rdf - Peek & Cloppenburg, a major German retailer for clothing with stores all across Europe, has added GoodRelations in RDFa to the individual store
pages. The interesting thing is that they expose both opening hours and "brand availability", e.g. data on which garment labels will be available, on a
per-store basis.- Example: http://www.peek-cloppenburg.de/service-kontakt/p-c-haeuser/standort/?no_cache=1&locationId=a1u6sdntb8&iso=DE&rbpwbrdet=az
- Sitemap: http://www.peek-cloppenburg.de/rdfa_sitemap.xml
- The data has some flaws (invalid time values etc.), but we hope they will be fixed soon.
- More info is at http://ebusiness-unibw.org/pipermail/goodrelations/2010-May/000226.html
- Bitmunk.com is a media marketplace service for music and other types of content.It includes GoodRelations data for all individual items, ca. 11 million triples.
- Sitemap index: http://bitmunk.com/sitemap-index.xml.gz
- Example: http://bitmunk.com/media/6745926
- Note: The markup can still be improved, we are in contact with bitmunk.com
- http://www.foodnetworkstore.com/ has GoodRelations markup in RDFa for ca. 5,000 household & cooking equipment items

Examples of GoodRelations-empowered Web Shops
