From a bibliographic POV, this would be useful: schema:fictional a rdfs:Property; schema:domainIncludes schema:Thing; schema:rangeIncludes schema:Boolean; . That way we could describe all kinds of things that people depict in their writings and imagery like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_books dbpedia:Necronomicon a schema:Book; schema:fictional true; schema:genre "History"; #etc. . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_towns_and_villages dbpedia:Gotham_City a schema:Place; schema:fictional true; #etc. . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lists_of_fictional_organizations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lists_of_fictional_events http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_medicines_and_drugs etc. Jeff > -----Original Message----- > From: Dan Brickley [mailto:danbri@google.com] > Sent: Friday, October 17, 2014 11:35 AM > To: Thad Guidry > Cc: Vicki Tardif Holland; Gregg Kellogg; Aaron Bradley; Jerome Mourits; > Dan Scott; Yuliya Tikhokhod; Martin Hepp; W3C Web Schemas Task Force > Subject: Re: VideoGame proposal > > On 17 October 2014 16:24, Thad Guidry <thadguidry@gmail.com> wrote: > > Freebase also went with a FictionalCharacter type...and we used a > > property on it called "Based On" to hold the person that the > character is based on. > > > > On the reverse side, We also added a new type for a person called > > Person In Fiction > > https://www.freebase.com/fictional_universe/person_in_fiction?schema= > > So basically, in Freebase, persons get multi-typed if they had a role > > in Fiction somehow. > > > > (but in Schema.org the Person In Fiction does not have to be a new > > type at all, it could be a property or Role or whatever works) > > > > +1 to add a new FictionalCharacter type...
