Re: The Existence, Presence, Fictitiousness of a Thing as a Property?

My advice would be to avoid going to deep into this. Sometimes it is clear
enough from context. Representing fictitiousness is a can of worms for a
language a simple as schema.org / rdf. One issue is that we generally want
to avoid reading too much into the semantics of something *not* being
stated. This makes it easier to mix and match and slice and dice data
without hidden baggage lurking everywhere. It would be inadvisable for
example to assume that a Recipe description without nutrition / calories
supplied is for a calorie-free meal. Similarly if "isFictitious: True" were
missing, or any typing information, it would be tricky if things previously
seeming to be fictitiousness became presented as non-fictitious, solely due
to missing information.
