Linked Data(Mashup) Application

So, I'm trying to do an Linked Data Application in which I would get information about products from different e-commerce sites.
Any ideas how to implement something like that ? Maybe where i could find some examples of implementations on applications like that ?

Also if it is possible I would like to store those information, into an RDF/RDFa format so that I can query it using an SPARQL terminal.

If the e-commerce sites have an API, then you can make use of that. Otherwise you would have to parse their HTML for specific elements whose data you are looking for. And you would have to edit your parser as and when the HTML of the site changes.

There should be lot of such Mashups. You might want to check on Programmable Web for different mashup samples.

They don't have an API, so I need to parse them ... I looked at the website you recommended but I couldn't seem to find something for me. I tried "Amazon ECS PHP Library Version 1.3" but I couldn't make it work ...


But studying the sample files I got, I understood he used SOAP requests to fetch information from the Amazon Database. Couldn't I do the same but for other e-commerce websites ? Those examples weren't working so do you know any examples that show me how can I implement something like that ?


Thanks in advance ...

I found two Linked Data Crawlers : Ldspider and Slug ... but I can't manage to make them work. So I'm thinking I'm needing something like that ... maybe you guys know anything else or a good example on how to implement something like that ... I couldn't find anything useful till now ...
