Re: does the automotive ontology contain dealership schema?

Hi Thejas,

he meant that you should use both, the auto ontologies and the 
GoogRelations and schema.org ontology together.

If you do not have too much experience in building ontologies, I would 
recommend to do first a tutorial to learn the basics concepts. The 
University of Manchester has a nice tutorial with the ontology editor 
Protege:

http://owl.cs.manchester.ac.uk/publications/talks-and-tutorials/protg-owl-tutorial/

     Download the v1.3 PDF and take an afternoon to do it step-by-step.


I would not recommend to start building an ontology without having 
learned the basics. It will be a painful experience and the result will 
probably be useless.


Best regards,
Niklas
