In short, www.productontology.org provides for the schema level what DBpedia provides for the data / instance level of the Semantic Web. A few examples: Laser_printer http://www.productontology.org/id/Laser_printer Manure_spreader http://www.productontology.org/id/Manure_spreader Racing_bicycle http://www.productontology.org/id/Racing_bicycle Soldering_iron http://www.productontology.org/id/Soldering_iron Sweet_potato http://www.productontology.org/id/Sweet_potato The Product Ontology is designed to be compatible with the GoodRelations Ontology for e-commerce, but it can be used for any other Semantic Web or Linked Data purpose that requires class definitions for objects. All Wikipedia translations are preserved. Background informations and FAQs: http://www.productontology.org/#faq Examples in RDF/XML, Turtle, and RDFa: http://www.productontology.org/#examples Any feedback is highly appreciated! Acknowledgments: Thanks to Axel Polleres, Andreas Radinger, Alex Stolz, and Giovanni Tummarello for very valuable feedback. The work on The Product Types Ontology has been supported by the German Federal Ministry of Research (BMBF) by a grant under the KMU Innovativ program as part of the Intelligent Match project (FKZ 01IS10022B). -------------------------------------------------------- martin hepp e-business & web science research group universitaet der bundeswehr muenchen e-mail: [email protected] phone: +49-(0)89-6004-4217 fax: +49-(0)89-6004-4620 www: http://www.unibw.de/ebusiness/ (group) http://www.heppnetz.de/ (personal) skype: mfhepp twitter: mfhepp _______________________________________________ goodrelations mailing [email protected]http://ebusiness-unibw.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/goodrelations -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens
