[Data-modeling] Publishing Companies

I was doing some clean-up of people who were incorrectly co-typed as 
companies and I found several instances where a person was typed as a 
Publisher. At first glance this seems like the right thing to do except 
that the Publisher type includes the Company type which means that that 
person is now also a company. It made me wonder whether it might be 
worthwhile to change the name of the type to Publishing Company and keep 
publisher as a Job Title to prevent any more confusion of the two 
similar but separate meanings of the word.
