I'd like to model filming locations in Freebase. 
See an attempt at this here: http://freebase.com/view/user/danm/fictional_settings_real_places

The types and properties I created should probably be merged into existing types/domains such as these:
* http://freebase.com/view/fictional_universe/work_of_fiction
* http://freebase.com/view/media_common

That said, I think a pretty common pattern is emerging - which is its often a good idea to avoid using core types like 'location' or 'person' as the expected type if you want them to link back. Better to have those core types as included types on the types you create (such as filming location).
 
This seems pretty equivalent to the 'place of burial' concept discussed here:

Reactions? Comments? Perhaps the administrators of the domains I mention above would like to add the associated types/properties I've modeled?
