Perhaps a "Broader field of study" and "Narrower fields of study" or "Subdisciplines" property would be useful in organizing these? (i.e. Business Administration is a subdiscipline of Business)
-
I agree. Currently, for example, philosophy, ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics are all simply "feilds of study". That's fine as far as it goes, but within the philosophy feild of study type we should be able to specify that ethics, epistemolgoy and metaphysics are subdisciplines. I'm not sure what a good name for the reciprocal property of "super-discipline" would be. Perhaps something like "is a subdiscipline of"

Just posting this to crosspost this disscussion.

That seems pretty reasonable to me, so I added the two properties to the Field of Study type.

Academic books should have a property linking them to a feild of study, e.g., philosophy, psychology, etc.
-
All books have a subject property, which seems like it should be sufficient. (The property is actually on the type "written work", but all books should have that type as a co-type.)

Thank you, you're right that does seem to cover it. I'm still getting used to the way that co-typeing works (i.e., that something can be both a feild of study type and a book subject type).
