Dear all:I just found out that Kingsley Idehen released a major update of Virtuoso sponger cartridges that create and collate "virtual" meta-data for existing Web pages.
See http://tr.im/bestbuygr2 for an example. The cool thing is- The data does not come from BestBuy directly; it is collected and collated on the fly from APIs and other resources (i.e. this is not yet the original BestBuy data). - It used the full level of detail of the GoodRelations ontology for e-commerce, http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/wiki/GoodRelations (not just 1 -2 properties).
- It exposes both price information and technical features in GoodRelations.- If you request an XHTML version of the page, you get the meta-data in RDFa for further reuse and combination in novel scenarios.
There are a few very minor issues with the data; we already provided respective feedback to Openlink SW. But all should be quick fixes.
I am confident that this is a major step for a Web of Linked Data, because the same approach can bring unprecedented amounts of highly detailed GoodRelations data for existing Web content.
Well done, Kingsley!
