Ahh that explains why it wasn't described as a sub-type. Lol. As a Property, Character uses Person in context. But what if I am curating a page dedicated to a character, where the MainEntity is only the character? Is Abraham Lincoln a "character"? Most people, using the fictional definition of character, would say "no". And if all you had was the SD definitions currently you'd probably conclude "no" to the same question. But what about "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter"? Is that a character now because a role we can all agree is fictional is applied to him? All this grey area and interpretation would make the process of concluding "character or not character" difficult to program or develop a flowchart around. Again, thanks for clarifying that. 👍 -JP Jason Pelish On Mon, Jun 20, 2022, 2:15 PM Martin Bean <martin@martinbean.co.uk> wrote: > “character” isn’t a type.
