[Data-modeling] Viewing the Topic of a Type created through a Domain

[Ed Laurent]

This was just posted under the Data Modeling
Guide<http://www.freebase.com/view/discuss/guid/9202a8c04000641f80000000045637f3#/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000006e5839f>.
However, I'm still a little confused as to which place is best for these
kinds of questions. Therefore I'm doubling up and including an update here.


I recently created 2 new types in different ways.

PIF breeding distribution
code<http://www.freebase.com/view/user/spatialed/bird_codes/pif_breeding_distribution_code>was
created through the Types link on my
Birds <http://www.freebase.com/view/domain/user/spatialed/bird_codes> domain
page

PIF population size
code<http://www.freebase.com/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000006e57a3f>was
created through the Topics link on the Classification
system<http://www.freebase.com/view/schema/user/spatialed/default_domain/classification_system>type
schema page.

I can see my size code topic page but can't seem to find one for
distribution code. I can add classes to the size code through it's topic
page and can find both code systems as potential reciprocated types for the
class. They are also both listed as topics under the classification system
schema page.

My questions:

1. Why does it appear that a topic page is not created for types created
through a Domain?

2. Is there a more efficient way to set up my reciprocation so that I don't
need to list the classification system type for a code as I'm adding that
code to its classification system type?

Update: After playing around with this a little more it appears that size
code was not a type initially. I created the type as a separate step with
the same name as the topic. However, I'm still missing a topic page for
distribution code and can't figure out how to make one that is associated
with its similarly named type.

3. Is there a way to create linked types and topics at the same time?
