[Data-modeling] /food/beer_container and/food/beer_packaging_style

[Jeff Prucher]

I'm going to flag beer_packaging_style for deletion. If someone wants to
create a schema that can be used for any of Iain's suggestions, that would
be great, and they could probably even reuse the type name. But since it's
unused in any existing schemata, I think it's better to just get rid of it
for now.

As they are currently populated, they seem synonymous and so your suggestion
is OK. 

However, I think beer_packaging_style might be better populated with topics
related to different labels on a beer_container.  e.g. bottles of Budweiser
have had different labels over the years
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=4851#Bottle).  Commemorative
containers may also have seperate topics and would best be typed as
beer_packaging_style.

Also bottles of Grolsch can come in different sizes (450ml, 467ml, 250ml or
330ml depending on the market
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grolsch#Bottle_design).

I'm not personally aware of any topics which could be currently typed as
beer_packaging_style as per the above description, and so it may still be
justified to delete beer_packaging_style.

It looks like beer_packaging_style could be deleted with no ill effects,
since although there are a few instances of it, it doesn't have any incoming
properties.

Unless we're both missing something, of course.
