[Data-modeling] Removing included type from a type?

[Alexander Marks]

If you want to remove the included type from the schema you can do it through MQL:

  {
    "id" : "/base/zxspectrum/computer_peripheral",
    "/freebase/type_hints/included_types" : {
      "connect" : "delete",
      "id" : "/base/zxspectrum/topic"
    }
  }

I believe the base topic type system is being removed in an upcoming release, by the way.

As you know, I'm using the peripheral type in my Atari ST base. This might be a type worthy of promotion to the commons.

Every base has its own topic type, which is an included type of all types
created within that base.  This type is how topics are assigned to a base;
i.e., if a topic is typed with a base "topic" type, that topic is part of
that base. Viewing the topic and clicking the "remove from base" link should
remove the base topic type.
