Re: [goodrelations] semantically modelling a balance

Manu:

The quick answer is that GoodRelations does not cover monetary transactions. 
You could, in theory, model monetary amounts by reusing the PriceSpecification class, but at least currently, there is no super-class gr:MonetaryAmount. We may add that at some point.

What you could model with GoodRelations is the offer to carry out monetary transactions (e.g. currency conversion services), but the focus here would be on the terms and conditions of the service, and not on the service itself.

May I also kindly ask you to continue this thread in the Web Payments forum if it no longer deals with GoodRelations issues, since many subscribers to the GoodRelations list are mainly interested in how to use GoodRelations and understandably unhappy with off-topic discussions?

Thanks!

Best wishes

Martin
