I was trying to create a type schema with an "organizer" property. I want to specify that the "organizer" may be of existing type "person" or "organization". I could not figure out how I can do that. Any idea?
-
You can’t, for a couple of reasons. First, if you add a previously-unknown organizer, what type should Freebase make it? Second, if you want to make a reverse property for organizer (organizations organized, perhaps), what type should it be on?
The thing to do in this case is to make a new type, probably called Organizer. That way the Person or Organization that did the organizing can have a reverse property easily.

I see.
It is a common case to have union of types as the range for a property. I think that creating new types in this way may result in many types.Anyway, thank you very much.
