Overview
Ravensburg is a town in the southern part of Germany with almost 1,000 years of history as a center of trade and business. In the Middle Ages, it was an Imperial Free City and its "Great Ravensburg Trading Society" (Große Ravensburger Handelsgesellschaft) owned shops and trading companies all over Europe (cf. Wikipedia).

On April 14, 2011, Ravensburg became the first city in the world to publish an almost complete set of high-quality information about shops, tourist attractions, medical services, and many other points of interest using latest generation Semantic Web technology, namely the GoodRelations vocabulary for e-commerce, which was also invented in Ravensburg.
