[Data-modeling] Additional properties to Disease/Physician

[Faye Li]

Hi,

The second part of the post (a physician's medical specialty) appears to 
be boringly uncontroversial so I'm interpreting the lack of a response 
as a tacit "go ahead". :) Forward and reverse properties linking 
"Medical Specialty" and "Physician" have been promoted to production.

You should see the continuation of the Disease type modeling discussion 
from someone in Metaweb (there's a lot of internal and external 
interest) soon.
