[Data-modeling] The Songwriter type considered

[Christopher R. Maden]

The properties that Songwriter used to have (<URL: 
http://www.freebase.com/view/music/songwriter >) are now on Composer 
(Songs Composed) and Lyricist (Lyrics Written).

One thing to do would be to delete the Songwriter type altogether, since 
no longer serves a modeling purpose.

However, it has some arguable semantic value; in that case, I would say 
that it should include both Composer and Lyricist; if someone is not 
both a composer and lyricist, they are not (in my opinion) a songwriter.

Anyone have strong opinions about this?  I am leaning towards making it 
include Composer and Lyricist.

Thanks,
Chris
