Dear all: We are happy to release a significantly improved version of the GoodRelations Annotator, a tool that helps any business in the world to create a rich description of its line of business, opening hours, payment options, and the like in RDF. The new version creates a handy RDFa snippet of the data. Now, it is sufficient to copy and paste that snippet right before the closing "body" elements of the main Web page. This will work for anybody who can see and access a page's source code,i.e. even in Content Management Systems or Wikis, etc. To our knowledge, this is the easiest approach of creating rich business descriptions for the Web of Linked Data. Please check it out! And please spread the word to any site owner in your address book: http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/tools/goodrelations-annotator/ A step-by-step tutorial of 13 minutes complements the tool and is available at http://vimeo.com/7583816 By the way, once you will have published respective meta-data, you can check the improved appearance in future search engines immediately using the http://igoogr.appspot.com/ application. Simply enter search terms that will bring up the respective page among the top five hits in Google, and you will see the effect of GoodRelations within seconds.
