[Data-modeling] modeling products currently in production

[Ed Laurent]

You might want to give "Motorcycle part number
(manufacturer)<http://motorcycle.freebase.com/type/schema/base/motorcycle/motorcycle_part_number_manufacturer>"
a gander. I created a "Dated
location"<http://www.freebase.com/type/schema/user/spatialed/statistics/dated_location>type
to store "Made in" info for this kind of detail.
