There is an advantage to maintaining a separate imprint.

In Freebase, we decided to add Imprint as a property under Publisher.
Ex.
https://www.freebase.com/m/0n3j8jg?props=&lang=en&filter=%2Fbook%2Fpublishing_company&filter=%2Forganization%2Forganization&all=true

(Also, Imprints, just like Publishers, can be co-typed as Organizations
themselves)

And Imprints, just like Publishers, are sometimes acquired or sold over
time.  So we also made sure to make Imprint a date mediated property, as
well.
