GoodRelations is a Web Ontology Language-compliant ontology for Semantic Web online data, dealing with business-related goods and services.[3] It handles the individual relationships between a buyer, a seller and the products and services offered. In November 2012, it was integrated into the Schema.org ontology.[4]
Usage
[edit]GoodRelations became popular owing to its success in improving search engine results.[5]
By 2009, the ontology's Product concept was being used to describe over a million products and their prices.[6] By 2013, GoodRelations had been adopted by the search engines Yahoo!,[7][8] Google,[7] and Bing.[7] An analysis of online e-commerce data providers at that time found it to be the most prevalent ontology in use.[7] As of mid-2015, GoodRelations had become the de facto ontology for e-commerce,[8][9] and was in widespread use, having been adopted by retailers such as Best Buy.[8]
GoodRelations is additionally used in academic studies of the Semantic Web,[10][11] as a core ontology.[7][9]
Example
[edit]A shop, restaurant, or store, and its opening hours, may be specified using GoodRelations as in this example, which also uses vCard and FOAF:[12]

To comprehensively understand the usage patterns of conceptual knowledge, instance data, and ontology co-usability, we considered GoodRelations ontology as the domain ontology and built a dataset by collecting structured data from 211 web-based data sources that have published information using the domain ontology.
