[Data-modeling] Databases

[Ed Laurent]

I created a generic Database
type<http://www.freebase.com/tools/schema/user/spatialed/database/database>to
describe various databases that I find. This type is more generic than
bio2rdf's
bioinformatics database
type<http://www.freebase.com/view/user/bio2rdf/default_domain/bm>,
which was the only other one I could find. I created a new Database
domain<http://www.freebase.com/view/user/spatialed/database>to hold it
and the types that make up its properties (and a database
website type<http://www.freebase.com/tools/schema/user/spatialed/database/database_website>that
is a container for database and website co-types). I'm interested to
hear what people think about these and how they can be improved. I left a
message for bio2rdf about the possibility of breaking his  specialty type
into a couple co-types that separate out his specialty properties from these
generic ones. Otherwise there will be several redundancies.

Thanks,
-Ed
