Breaking News: GoodRelations data now shows up in Yahoo!

[Martin Hepp (UniBW)]

Dear all:

I can report on the first confirmed page with GoodRelations + RDFa rich
meta-data that shows up in Yahoo with additional details:

URI: http://tr.im/yahooproduct2

Screenshot attached. The price of $ 34.99 comes directly from the RDFa
markup, as described in the recipe at

http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/wiki/GoodRelations_and_Yahoo_SearchMonkey

Thanks to Peter Mika, Evan Goer, and Kevin Haas for their hard work in
fine-tuning the parsing & processing. Theoretically, there should also
be the product image next to the search result; we are currently working
on fixing that, too.

But the good news is: There is now a crystal-clear, easy-to-communicate
incentive for any webmaster in the world to add price and product
descriptions using GoodRelations in RDFa to all pages.

Please spread the word!

Best wishes

Martin

[Roberto García González]

Hi Martin, all,

It seems that the page automatically generated from the
minimalExampleGoodRelations [1] by RDF2HTML+RDFa [2] also shows up in
Yahoo:

http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=wwwurl%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Frhizomik.net%2Fredefer%2Frdf2html%2FminimalExampleGoodRelations%2F

The original example doesn't include a review or description but the
Yahoo result does take the price from the RDFa metadata.

Best,


Roberto García
