Re: Proposal for a Demand item type

Hey Martin,

thank you for the hint. Is it allowed to combine schema.org microdata
and GoodRelations and does it make sense for search engines?

I will have a closer look at GoodRelations and it's really good to know
that this is already possible.


Thanks,

Christian
