Dear all: BestBuy.com has just started to serve a complete RDF/XML dump of their products and price information to the Web of Linked Data, using the GoodRelations vocabulary for e-commerce. The data dump is updated on a daily basis and contains detailed descriptions for roughly 450,000 individual items. With about 60 triples per item, this totals to about 27 million RDF triples. Semantic Sitemap: http://products.semweb.bestbuy.com/sitemap.xml Examples: a) Software: http://products.semweb.bestbuy.com/products/8182593/semanticweb.rdf b) "Hardgoods": http://products.semweb.bestbuy.com/products/8794691/semanticweb.rdf c) Movies: http://products.semweb.bestbuy.com/products/7590289/semanticweb.rdf d) Games: http://products.semweb.bestbuy.com/products/9223752/semanticweb.rdf Other than many existing large RDF transcripts, the data very dynamic, holding the daily prices for all items.
