Description

The Vehicle Sales Ontology is a Web vocabulary for describings cars, boats, bikes, and other vehicles for e-commerce. The vocabulary is designed to be used in combination with GoodRelations, a standard vocabulary for the commercial aspects of offers for sale, rental, repair, or disposal. GoodRelations is a language (also known as "schema", "data dictionary", or "ontology") for product, price, and company data that can (1) be embedded into existing static and dynamic Web pages and that (2) can be processed by other computers. This increases the visibility of your products and services in the latest generation of search engines, recommender systems, and other novel applications.
