Jumping in this late, but what exactly makes a thing fictional? That you have not yet spotted it in real? That you are talking about an invention of your mind? In both cases, it could well be that the thing actually exists outside of your mind but that you simply don't know it yet. Imagine you are fantasizing about Zaphod Beeblebrox [1], and then you go to ISWC and see him presenting a paper on Linked Data. Is the Semantic Web real or a fictional thing? One could argue ;-) Martin [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaphod_Beeblebrox On 17 Oct 2014, at 17:24, 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...
