[Data-modeling] Fictional Universes on a Friday Afternoon

[Gordon Mackenzie]

I was wondering if there is any value to adding the Creator as a  
property and have it disambiguate so as to appear with the title of  
the Fictional Universe on the filter view:

http://www.freebase.com/view/fictional_universe/fictional_universe

So on the filter view page it would present itself as:

Buffyverse - Joss Whedon

What to do for something that has multiple creators such as the  
whoniverse?

Whoniverse - BBC?

===

I am also thinking of creating a clone/cloned/cloner type (just  
watched the not so great Star Trek Nemesis, which has a cloned  
character, Shinzon...I added that Shinzon as a character is based upon  
Jean-Luc Picard but it seems inaccurate to also list Shinzon as the  
child of Picard.

In science fiction entertainment many clones abound these days...I  
think we need that data relationship within Freebase ;)

So I guess the cleanest way would be to have a separate type within  
fictional universe that would at least contain these three properties:

Fictional clone
Cloned fictional character (disambiguation)
Fictional clone created by
...
Should probably  contain the 'Appears In These Fictional Universes'  
property as well (also a disambiguation)
