Re: GoodRelations Light

Hi Christopher,

here is an extended diagram with locality information about the point of interest from which a particular good or service is available.

Note that I am already using the new URI for the location, gr:Location, which will replace gr:LocationOfSalesOrServiceProvisioning with the next service update.

As for the geo data, there are of course multiple popular patterns, see [1] for a comparison.

Best

Martin

Which would make it cheap and easy to populate the model you've got here, from a 2-workbook google spreadsheet. Which would make it really painless to produce. Ideally this could be a service you register the URL of your google doc and it sucks out and publishes your data as RDF...
