[Data-modeling] What does "Type/Domain equivalent topic" mean ?

[Nguyen Minh Tuan]

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. It is more clear for me but I have more questions :
- Have all types got a "equivalent topic", or just some special types ?
- In "en/person/", what does "en" mean ? English ?
- In the folder "en" in data-dump of fbase (so "en" is a domain too? 
because I think that a folder corresponding to a domain),  there are 
just  three file.tsv, are there sufficient ?
