In Freebase, we found it useful to have properties for expressing an "about" through the use of "Subject of" and "Subjects"...(delegated Subject properties). Subjects <https://www.freebase.com/common/topic/subjects?schema=> - menu /common/topic/subjects/common/topic <https://www.freebase.com/common/topic?schema=> Subjects of this topic. This property is to be used as the basis of delegated "subjects" properties on other types. masterSubject of <https://www.freebase.com/common/topic/subject_of?schema=> - /common/topic/subject_of/common/topic <https://www.freebase.com/common/topic?schema=> Different things (films, books, songs, etc.) this topic is the subject of. I could envision http://schema.org/Thing having those 2 properties as well, which probably could take care of a number of issues, although not a "related to" issue. I would vote "no" to any relatedness properties on Thing itself for now until further discussion with SKOS is accumulated and lands in Schema.org. -- -Thad +ThadGuidry <https://www.google.com/+ThadGuidry> Thad on LinkedIn <http://www.linkedin.com/in/thadguidry/>
