Abstract
Because an accurate price analysis is very important for business, there are different kinds of price analysis systems in China. In this paper, we focus on the price analysis of agricultural products. According the examination of those price analysis systems; we find that most of them cannot provide enough information for business decisions. In this paper, we first choose to use online transaction data because they often provide rich information. We then use an agricultural ontology and a GIS (Geographic Information System) technology in our price analysis. With the GIS technology, we can bridge the price of an agricultural product and its producing areas. With the agricultural ontology, we can make a fine-grain price analysis. Our analysis shows that more exploration is needed for price analysis.
