I was looking for a references field to add the paper about a comaprsion study but couldn't find one.
You're certainly right to think that there shoud be one. When I set to Type up, the main aim was to explore the cross-referencing between 'Environmental model comparison study' and 'Environmental model' itself (1 study will reference several models; 1 model can reference 0 or more studies). I simply used the generic 'Weblinks' property to link to any (online) documentation.
Before we add a 'References' property, ot is probably worthwhile to check to see if Freebase actually has a Type for academic publications. It would fit in well with the Freebase model if it does, since (e.g.) each author can then link to a Person Type. If it doesn't, and we decide to model this area in a principled way, then that would probably require some thought.
Of course, we can always just treat the reference as a text string, which is probably all that you were looking for...
I was using the 'Environmental modellling' domain to capture information on N2O emission work.
Immediately, treating the reference as a text string would work as for this to work I need to note to published paper but I could stick it in as URL using the DOI (linked to a server) would be better than simple text that just gave the reference.
However, I agree a Type for academic publications would be much better.
Can't I edit posts?
