Re: Socialnetworks of a person or organization

Kingsley,

Your not helping solve the problem we have at this moment.

This is the problem that we are trying to solve.  We have a property for
describing a Thing's alternative identity online.  For that we use
"sameAs", everyone knows that.  Stop this madness.

And your probably misunderstanding the problem.  Let me try it this way...

You are assigned a task to teach a computer which of the following URI's
you can use to communicate with an entity, However, there are rules you
must abide by, which are that you can only use 1 Schema.org Type and only 1
Property from that Type:

A: http://www.freebase.com/user/thadguidry

and

B: https://plus.google.com/+ThadGuidry

where A does not allow communication with me...and B does allow
communication with me.

The computer must know from a Schema.org property assignment of your choice
that B allows for communication with me.

Which Schema.org Type and Property would you use for B and describe why
your answer would make simple sense to most Web Developers.
