Now structured data is great, but how do we work with those businesses that have not yet the ability to handle structured REQUESTS I wonder, would it be an idea to send purchase orders via EMAIL marked up in the same RDFa that is used on the form. So the workflow would be something like: 1. Business makes up page in RDF(a) 2. User clicks "Buy" Button (or order, or indication) 3. Attempt to send structured data (including product references) to a discovered endpoint, if one exists 4. If none found, use a bridge to access the an order gateway 5. Send an email in stuctured GR RDFa that shows that the customer is interested in a product Businesses can send responses in the same way ... perhaps we can have escrow/advertising hubs specialising on this kind of process. > > This is one of many commercial value propositions that is 100% Linked Data > meme driven. > > Beyond this point, you'll need to communicate with me in private if you need > more details :-) > > > Kingsley >> >> >>> >>> It's coming! >>> >>> -- >>> >>> >>> Regards, >>> >>> Kingsley Idehen Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen >>> President & CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> > > > -- > > > Regards, > > Kingsley Idehen Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen > President & CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com > > > > >
