[Data-modeling] adding included type beverage or dish to beer, whiskey, tea, etc...

[Ravi Iyer]

Hi all....

Should we add the included type "beverage" to the whiskey, tea, beer, etc...
types?

Or should they have the included type 'Dish' with the property "Type of
Dish" set to "Drink"?  If the later choice, should type "Dish" be renamed to
something more inclusive like "Food/Drink" since all 3 properties ("Type of
Dish", "Cuisine", and "Typical Ingredients") can apply to almost anything in
the food/drink area?

I think I would vote for the 2nd option, since it's cleaner to me.

At a more meta level, am I doing the right thing in emailing it to the
mailing list and generating a consensus to be implemented into freebase when
I want to discuss changing existing types?    Or is there a more formal link
in freebase for me to suggest an included type for an existing type (I
looked and couldn't find such a link)?

Thanks!
Ravi
