[Data-modeling] Types for subjects

[Faye Harris]

+1

This would make it much easier to enter and parse data on topics like 
/en/world_war_ii, which has the following subject-related types:

- book subject
- literary genre
- computer game genre
- computer game subject
- tv genre
- film subject
- art subject
- media genre
- speech topic
- nobel subject area
- exhibition subject
- taxonomy subject

It may be worthwhile to examine how "foo subject" and "foo genre", 
sometimes overlapping, are being used or misused.
