Re: EasierRDF

A correction --- it seems the wikidata entity for 'communication medium' 
has been changed and so all I can seem to find in wikidata now for 
'communication medium' is this: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q10461162

which is now oddly a subclass of bamboo and wooden slips in Imperial 
China and who knows why this exists now.

you can now search for: 'media' or 'communication'  or many other terms 
and get similar results.
