College/University: Fraternities and sororities

2009-11-15T21:59:14.0028Z

Very US-centric, but as jeff points out a number of other sorts of social organizations do exist in other regions.

I'd like to propose placing a less-US centric type in the schema (but keep the fraternity/sorority type as well). Could I suggest the following:

create a new type /education/university_social_organization
recreate the properties /colleges_and_universities, /colors, /symbol, /founded_location in /education/university_social_organization
make the above shared properties on /education/fraternity_sorority and have /education/university_social_organization as an included type of /education/fraternity_sorority
change the property /education/university/fraternities_and_sororities to be named "social organization" and expect the /education/university_social_organization

I think this would improve the schema, and minimise the amount of breaking changes. Comments?

I ran across some more topics requiring such a type (West Wing Presidential Election). Any fictional universes admins want to take this up?

Channii news i subscribed to this government grant and your management is a third party, it's up to you. I'm very articulate and you would want me to speak in your behalf as far as is it a rush to have the philanthropist that i request the grant from to sponsor you, do I want to do all that work for you. Do I love you that much? Because when i make the call it's i have a friend or an artist and i trained with TWC and Chase and can get the business transaction in my favor by the end of the call. Yea, besides that i was thinking of Ayn Rand and going to church with a wife today I choose you...

Done

Amusement Ride Type: Observation tower

2009-11-15T18:41:06.0028Z

Observation tower should be typed with Ride type.

Red Rum: Racehorse

Can "Racehorse" be given a date ?

Organization: Dated Headquarter

2009-11-15T11:05:41.0003Z

I just recognized, that it is possible to add dates to the "places lived property" (I did that for my profile a few month ago ;))

Architecture: Delete "tower" type?

2009-11-15T09:45:00.0053Z

http://www.ctbuh.org/HighRiseInfo/TallestDatabase/Criteria/tabid/446/language/en-US/Default.aspx

The CTBUH defines a tower as having less than 50% of the height occupied. As we have kept the tower type, could we add this as a definition to the description of the tower type?

I doubt we would have much data for percentage of height occupied, so limited use in adding that as a property to tower.

Piston configuration: Documentation?

2009-11-15T08:38:37.0000Z

I've revised the documentation.

Organization: Dated Headquarter

2009-11-14T19:34:35.0013Z

Yes, indeed. Most of the organizations, I would like to add, do not exist anymore. Most of them, like the World Zionist Organization (which still exists) (http://www.freebase.com/view/en/world_zionist_organization), changed their headquarters a few times.

I think (also for future editing) it is much better to have the possibility to add dates to such properties ( another example is person_places_lived), in general. Because otherwise you have to delete data (which might be important for many people) erverytime when e.g. headquaters will change. What do you think?

best regards,

Frank

I think some words are missing from the type documentation. :)

Organization: Dated Headquarter

2009-11-13T21:10:13.0006Z

We could do it, although it would be a major change which would break any apps using this data. Both the Company and Organization types assume "current headquarters" currently -- do you have a strong need for historical headquarters data?

Organization: Dated Headquarter

2009-11-12T16:03:24.0039Z

Is there a possibility to add a date (from until) to the headquarter property?
