Tim,
No one is trying to change the definition that we currently have in
Schema.org
In the world there are generally 2 generally used definitions of Diet.
1. That typically spoken about by a Biologist. (biological needs of a
lifeform)
2. That typically spoken about by a Nutritionist. (Lifestyle or Restricted
or Health goal oriented)
Schema.org has # 2 (well, mostly aligned with # 2)
Wikidata.org has # 1 (currently, but were the referenced Wikipedia article
meaders back and forth between # 1 and # 2...but no matter, the Wikidata
topic is firmly in the realm of # 1 with its current description)
The two classes are not equivalent but where Dan and others are saying #2
could be thought of as a subclass of #1.
I'm OK with that and now just need to get Wikidata 'external subclass'
figured out.
I've posited the question to them on their mailing list and awaiting a
response.
