Re: ANN: GoodRelations - The Web Ontology for E-Commerce

Very nice.

Just a small stylistic note on the primer. You could make the primer  
more readable by trying to indent the  N3 a bit better.  Currently you  
have example such as

default:Offering_1
a gr:Offering ;
gr:hasBusinessFunction
gr:Sell ;
gr:hasPriceSpecification
default:UnitPriceSpecification_1 ;
gr:includesObject default:TypeAndQuantityNode_1 .

The above uncessarily difficult to read. It requires a good  
understanding of N3 syntax, which one should not yet assume to be  
widespread, to understand. For example one has to know the meaning of  
';'. A bit more indentation, and keeping the property value pairs  
together would be good.

The html is a bit odd for you examples, as each line is made to be a  
paragraph.

The construct I would use is rather

<pre>
  <code>
default:Offering_1
     a gr:Offering ;
     gr:hasBusinessFunction gr:Sell ;
     gr:hasPriceSpecification default:UnitPriceSpecification_1 ;
     gr:includesObject default:TypeAndQuantityNode_1 .
  </code>
</pre>

The <pre> tag means that your lines are preformatted, so the  
whitespaces and end of lines are already marked. The <code> piece  
gives some hint as to the type of entity that is inside.
