Is >Google going to come along with another different word for that? Then >which one does a catalog owner choose? Note that the Yahoo "product" vocabulary is a legacy from earlier vocabularies. You can use pure GoodRelations for 99% iof the current usages of that vocabulary and it will be equally honored by SearchMonkey, afaik. Make sure you click on the "RDFa + GoodRelations" tab at http://developer.search.yahoo.com/help/objects/product So you can also use <div rel="gr:offers"> <div typeof="gr:Offering"> <!-- Two price specifications: a list price and a sale price --> <div rel="gr:hasPriceSpecification"> <span property="gr:hasCurrencyValue">34.99</span> <span property="gr:hasCurrency">USD</span> </div> etc. I will publish a more complete example at http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/wiki/GoodRelations_Examples shortly. > Is >Google going to come along with another different word for that? Then >which one does a catalog owner choose? I am currently in contact with Google and trying to communicate the advantages of using standard vocabularies for meta-data, and I think there are strong arguments. Also note that it is fairly easy to transform any Google-specific mark-up into standardized GoodRelations mark-up, and that several related tools are in the making.
