[Data-modeling] "Mentions" and "Mentioned In"

[Ed Laurent]

I commented already in your "Mentions" discussion:
http://www.freebase.com/type/schema/book/scholarly_work?domain=%2Fbook

Now that I see how you are using this, I'm wondering if the "Acknowledged
people" property of scholarly work would suffice if the description was
broadened to include acknowledgments anywhere in the work:
