'''GoodRelations''' is a [Web Ontology Language](/source/Web_Ontology_Language)-compliant [ontology](/source/Ontology_(information_science)) for [Semantic Web](/source/Semantic_Web) online data, dealing with business-related goods and services.{{sfn|Antoniou|Harmelen|Hoekstra|2012|p=176}} It handles the individual relationships between a buyer, a seller and the products and services offered. In November 2012, it was integrated into the [Schema.org](/source/Schema.org) ontology.{{sfn|Hepp|Hoffner|2014|p=34}}

==Usage==
GoodRelations became popular owing to its success in improving [search engine](/source/search_engine) results.{{sfn|Antoniou|Harmelen|Hoekstra|2012|pp=176-177}}

By 2009, the ontology's ''Product'' concept was being used to describe over a million products and their prices.{{sfn|Siegel|2009|p=71}} By 2013, GoodRelations had been adopted by the [search engine](/source/search_engine)s [Yahoo!](/source/Yahoo!),<ref name="ashraf">{{cite journal
|quote=To comprehensively understand the usage patterns of conceptual knowledge, instance data, and ontology co-usability, we considered GoodRelations ontology as the domain ontology and built a dataset by collecting structured data from 211 web-based data sources that have published information using the domain ontology.

==Example==

A shop, restaurant, or store, and its opening hours, may be specified using GoodRelations as in this example, which also uses [vCard](/source/vCard) and [FOAF](/source/FOAF_(ontology)):<ref>{{CCBYSASource|sourcepath=http://wiki.goodrelations-vocabulary.org/index.php?title=Quickstart&oldid=2877#Shop.2C_Restaurant.2C_or_Store.2C_and_Opening_Hours|sourcearticle=Quickstart|revision=788969264|authors(s)=Martin Hepp, Andreas Radinger, Alex Stolz}}</ref>
