Re: VideoGame proposal

I'm confused.  I agree with Thad "that 'part' and 'partOf' would be ideal
for VideoGameSeries" - except for the fact that the example does not employ
VideoGameSeries (unlike the query to which Thad points) and indeed
VideoGameSeries "has been discarded because it's not enough informative."

So before I comment further, Yuliya can you clarify that your example was
not meant to include VideoGameSeries - and Thad, is your +1 for using
"part" and "partOf" without a type for a video game series?

Thanks,
Aaron Bradley, Electronic Arts
