Yeah, I too think this is a big deal.  Semantic web in the commercial  
world obviously suffers the same chicken and egg problem as elsewhere,  
but if a big company like BestBuy just does it anyway, then services  
that consume and aggregate this kind of data are likely to spring  
up.   Semantic SEO industry starts here?

Guys,

Let me add: Having real world use cases validate the cause in many
levels. In practice, this will generate a second sell, and a third,
etc. Domino effect.

Or rather, the CYA effect: Until someone else has taken the risk, why
put your A on the line?

So, I would call this a nice escape goat as well. And that's a LOT.
First kiss is most elusive. From then on it's downhill ;)

Congratulations to whoever made it happen!

Regards
A

PS. In some cases, its a good idea to stop at the first kiss... but I
think that the prospect of permeating the e-commerce dinosaur is sexy
as hell ;)

Please not that this is in addition to this being a good thing in
nature ( my point sounded a bit narrow ).
The point is: this event is even more significant than the content itself ;)

Perhaps someone from the community could split markets vertically and
monitor events relevant to each.
This information is really valuable because it helps others trying to
do the same.

Kingsley: Does any of the upper level ontologies or LOD datasets
provide industry sectors with a useful level of granularity?

For example ( copy paste from Yahoo )

(GENERIC)
BANKING  FINANCE
CONSTRUCTION  PROPERTY
CONSUMER GOODS
ENGINEERING
HEALTH
INDUSTRIALS
LEISURE
MEDIA
NATURAL RESOURCES
PUBLIC SECTOR
RETAILING
SUPPORT SERVICES
TECHNOLOGY
TELECOMS
TRANSPORT
UTILITIES

And then serve this up via:

LinkedData.org / showcase / ( FCT browser )

Same thing would apply to the teams behind each project ( via DOAP +
FOAF ). This is to do quick lookups if in need for specific expertise.
  
Yes, it's pretty much there, just need to get the new LOD instance 
online etc..


Also look at the GoodRelations annotator re. sector categorization 
(which uses the e...@ss data): 
http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/tools/goodrelations-annotator/  (note: 
Product Category Section) :-)


Linked Open eCommerce (LOC) is the moniker that Martin and I are using 
for the eCommerce oriented application of Linked Data. Much more to come 
very soon :-)

Re: Bestbuy.com goes Semantic Web the GoodRelations Way

2009-06-09 Thread Martin Hepp (UniBW)

Hi Aldo:

Kingsley: Does any of the upper level ontologies or LOD datasets
provide industry sectors with a useful level of granularity?

  

Note that GoodRelations provides the gr:hasISICv4 and the gr:hasNAICS

properties for linking a gr:BusinessEntity to the proper ISIC/NAICS 
category code for that company.


For a more precise description of the range of skills or products 
offered, one should use the regular gr:Offering pattern, though, because 
a one-dimensional industry classification is pretty much limited.


http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#hasISICv4

Definition: The International Standard of Industrial Classification of 
All Economic Activities (ISIC), Revision 4 code for a particular 
Business Entity. See http://unstats.un.org/unsd/cr/registry/isic-4.asp 
for more information. Note: While ISIC codes are sometimes misused for 
classifying products or services, they are designed and suited only for 
classifying business establishments.


http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#hasNAICS

Definition: The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 
code for a particular Business Entity. See 
http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/ for more details. Note: While NAICS 
codes are sometimes misused for classifying products or services, they 
are designed and suited only for classifying business establishments.
