[Data-modeling] Innovator and Original Idea

[Iain Sproat]

I think Influence would be the most appropriate commons as these are novel
ideas which have had a large influence; and arguments are to do with
influencing others (also the influence commons is pretty sparse on schema at
the moment.)
Original Idea<http://www.freebase.com/type/schema/base/argumentmaps/original_idea?domain=/base/argumentmaps>would
probably benefit from a phylogeny pattern to model which ideas then
influenced other ideas, and which ideas it was based on.  (or is that the
purpose of variation_of_idea? variation_of_idea appears to me more like a
competing idea - e.g. flat world vs. circumnavigation).

A nice-to-have would be 'Advocates' and 'Opponents' properties on Original
Idea.  A lot of ideas are controversial and it would be good to model which
people agreed and disagreed.
