Re: Enumerations and inference rules

I'm surprised that isRelatedTo doesn't have Thing type, as it seems a 
very generic relation.  Otherwise schema.org could forever be adding 
more type choices, and BiologicalEntity seems even more specific than 
Product or Service.

I'm also surprised that isRelatedTo isn't a Thing property.
