Employer in fiction: Related question 2008-07-05T16:33:26.0005Z jeff http://www.freebase.com:80/view/user/jeff <p>I understand your point, and from a certain perspective, it would be the most accurate way to model fictional things. We actually had modeled fictional settings this way, for the same arguments (e.g., the London of the Sherlock Holmes stories is not the same London as in the film "About a Boy", even though they're both fairly realistic portrayals of the actual city, which is again not the same thing). But it turned out to be extremely cumbersome for users, and hard for many people, even experienced data-modelers, to really understand. So everyone pretty much just used the actual locations for the fictional settings. I worry that the same thing would happen with employers and education. It would also result in an extremely large number of instances of Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, and Yale, each pertaining to a single universe.</p> http://www.freebase.com:80/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000008800bd5 I understand your point, and from a certain perspective, it would be the most accurate way to model... Employer in fiction: Fictional Universe property? 2008-07-01T17:41:25.0000Z sprocketonline http://www.freebase.com:80/view/user/sprocketonline <p>Surely the fictional employer should be a seperate topic?<br /> e.g. James Bond works for MI6. MI6, as a fictional employer in the James Bond universe, should be a seperate topic from the real-life MI6. If the two were together it wouldn't be clean and could be very confusing.<br /> <br /> Perhaps a 'based on' property, similar to that of the fictional character type, is required for the fictional employer?</p> http://www.freebase.com:80/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f80000000087fcfb0 Surely the fictional employer should be a seperate topic? e.g. James Bond works for MI6.

Employer in fiction: Fictional Universe property? 2008-07-01T05:33:16.0000Z jeff http://www.freebase.com:80/view/user/jeff <p>In principle I think it's a good idea, but I think we left the property off originally because a lot of fictional characters are said to have worked for real-world employers, and having the fictional universe property on those topics might be a bit strange. Although with the current client UI, this might be less weird.</p> http://www.freebase.com:80/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f80000000087e58ad In principle I think it's a good idea, but I think we left the property off originally because a...
