If adding to/from fields, they would probably need to be typed as my <a href="/view/base/fictionaluniverse/fictional_date_time">Fictional Date/Time</a>. As that type is not yet in the commons (I think it still needs to be refined) it's probably better to go with the former.</p> http://www.freebase.com/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000012dd988e

The Lego Star Wars games do follow the films' plot line closely, so I suppose it would make sense. Definitely will cotype with <a href="/view/fictional_universe/work_of_fiction">Work of Fiction</a>.</p> http://www.freebase.com/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000012cfbb56

2009-12-15T08:15:39.0013Z faye http://www.freebase.com/view/user/faye <div><p>Hi,</p> <p>How should I use to link a video game that either exists within the realm of or extends that of an existing work, such as a film? For example, I would like to say that the <a href="/view/en/lego_star_wars">Lego Star Wars</a> game series is derived from the Star Wars films, and is a part of the Star Wars franchise. There are several Franchise types but none pertains to video games. There's also Consumer Product with property Product Line that can probably be used to link books and films and games and toys of the same theme together.</p> <p>Another possibility is to use <a href="/view/fictional_universe/fictional_universe">Fictional Universe</a> to indicate that a game is defined within a fictional universe. However, some fandoms are quite sensitive about Canon vs. Expanded Universe. Video games can be problematic when it comes to continuity.</p> <p>Suggestions?</p></div> http://www.freebase.com/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000012ce567c
