This project aims at improving OS Web shop and CMS software (in this particular case osCommerce) by extending them with capabilities for the Semantic Web. By issuing e-commerce applications with the GoodRelations ontology, powerful tools to annotate products and services offerings on the Web can emerge. To help avoiding duplicate output of data in Web pages, the systems support besides RDF/XML dump output also RDFa, which enables to embed interchangeable formats as metadata in a set of XHTML attributes. The ontology GoodRelations, a standard vocabulary for e-commerce and complementing eClassOWL, is used to describe products and services offerings and their relationships to other resources in a machine-readable format. gr:description and gr:isListPrice have been declared deprecated gr:description was substituted by rdfs:comment This extension enhances osCommerce by Semantic Web functionalities. The Semantic Web information, that can be used by search engines like Yahoo Searchmonkey and other Semantic Web pages, basically consist of RDF/XML output and RDFa, that is, embedded RDF code in XHTML attributes. The project is based on GoodRelations, a product ontology developed by Martin Hepp at the Bundeswehr University Munich in Germany. More precise, GoodRelations is a lightweight ontology for annotating offerings on the Web.
