Product Definitions Ontology

Question

Does some know of an OWL ontology describing different products? I've tried to find it on http://linkeddata.org but to no avail (or maybe I am missing something)? Ideally, the ontology would be linked to FOAF

You might find something in GoodRelation's stuff.

If you are asking for a description vocabulary, GoodRelations is a plausible option, as suggested by msalvadores.

If you are looking for an ontology/taxonomy of products, you may want to look at Google's product taxonomy. The Drupal community translated that taxonomy into XML and RDF, dated back in May 2009.

The basics of using GoodRelations for exposing product model details is described here:

Also, this illustration might be helpful:

Meanwhile there are efforts from the makers of Goodrelations for this specific problem [1] to turn Product Classification Systems into Web Ontologies. They also work with Googles Product taxonomy. They have developed a tool [2] in python which allows you to do the transformation automatically.
