Re: Attribute or Property Ontology?

I would say take a look at the Freebase Metaschema

https://developers.google.com/freebase/v1/search-metaschema

The documentation is atrocious,  but this information is available in
standards-compliant (i.e. won't crash your tools) format

http://basekb.com/

One really cool thing is that it can map property paths to properties,
 which is essential given the heavy use of compound value types in
Freebase.
