Powerful XHTML+RDFa templates for GoodRelations

Dear all:

I just released a set of very powerful templates for generating GoodRelations data in RDFa and RDF/XML.

See

   http://code.google.com/p/templates4goodrelations/
   http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/wiki/GoodRelationsTemplates

Key features:
* Compatible with all Django-style templating engines, e.g.
   - Jinja2 (Python)
   - Django (Python)
   - Google App Engine
   - H2O Template Engine (PHP)
* XHTML 1.0 Strict compatible
* Rich RDFa patterns
* Yahoo Searchmonkey compatible
* LPGL license

The package includes templates for RDF/XML data dump files and sitemap.xml with Semantic Sitemap extension support.
This allows developers on any platform with any programming language to generate fully-fledged e-commerce data for the Web of Linked Data with minimal requirements.

Basically any HTML templating engine will do (with minor modifications, in worst case).

I expect that this approach will reduce the entrance barriers for mainstream Web developers significantly.

Best wishes

Martin Hepp
