GoodRelations is a Web Ontology Language-compliant ontology for 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 ontology.{{sfn|Hepp|Hoffner|2014|p=34}}
Usage
GoodRelations became popular owing to its success in improving search engine results.{{sfn|Antoniou|Harmelen|Hoekstra|2012|pp=176-177}}

|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.
