= ESWC 2014 Tutorial: The Web of Data for E-Commerce for Researchers and Practitioners =

A Hands-on Introduction to the GoodRelations Ontology, Schema.org, RDFa and Microdata Authoring, Google Rich Snippets for Products, Yahoo, Bing, and Linked Open Commerce

Summary
The integration of the GoodRelations ontology into schema.org is one huge success story of applying Semantic Web technology to business challenges. In this tutorial, we will
 * 1) give a comprehensive overview and hands-on training on the conceptual structures of schema.org for e-commerce, including patterns for ownership and demand,
 * 2) present the full tool chain for producing and consuming respective data,
 * 3) explain the long-term vision of linked open commerce,
 * 4) describe the main challenges for future research in the field, and
 * 5) discuss advanced topics, like access control, identity and authentication (e.g. with WebID); micropayment services (like Payswarm), and data management issues from the publisher and consumer perspective.

We will also cover research opportunities resulting from the growing adoption and the respective amount of data in RDFa and Microdata syntaxes.
