Not yet, but am looking at productDB. However, note that BestBuy is 
releasing its own operational product database as RDF/XML. You may be 
able to link that with other data assets, e.g. via links between 
instances of gr:ProductsOrServiceModel or 
gr:ProductsOrServiceSomeInstancesPlaceholder that have the same literal 
value for gr:hasEAN_UCC-13.
