One thing to consider is that if only the properties of schema.org/Thing are provided, the more important it is to have an accurate type. If I have name: Ramones image: http://www.ramones.com/image.jpg url: http://www.ramones.com I do not not know if this is the band, the self-titled album, or a book about the band. I need the type to disambiguate. And yes, one may use sameAs, but not everything is notable enough to be in Wikidata/Wikipedia. - Vicki On Thu, May 31, 2018 at 5:33 PM Thad Guidry <thadguidry@gmail.com> wrote: > Peter, > > You used a string, not an identifier.
