[Data-modeling] Topics with weighted values for a Topic

[James Alexander Levy]

I'm unsure how to design a type schema such that property values can have a
weighted value.


For instance, suppose I wanted to make my own type for "Economy", and I had
a property called "Sectors" - I want to be able to assign a Topic
("Agriculture") along with a percentage of the overall Economy.

Because properties only accept one type, the only way I know how to do this
is to make Sector its own type as a compound value with a percentage
property and a Topic property, but that would make the whole schema
considerably more complex.

Any advice?
