[Data-modeling] remove /architecture/tower type

[tigre119 at gmail.com]

Hi brendan
i am tim
I disagree and think 'towers' is an important class of objects to keep.
In the sense that they are a distinct structure such as the Eiffel tower and
now there are thousands of mobile phone towers and radio transmission towers
as well as many tower type sky scrapers in modern cities.
They are a class of objects in their own right in my view.
Why do you want to remove the class?
I am new I thought the more the merrier was the approach.
Structures is a very broad term, sentences, stories and thoughts have
structures.
Buildings is another term, however 'tower' means a type of building or
construction.
Is it better to expand the tower class rather than remove it?

My freebase is about marsupials and i want to fine-tune it, in fact it needs
to contain all available info about marsupials.
How can I set my freebase so it gathers data automatically and can it index
it for me itself after collecting data from round the web?
So that queries automatically gather and present the details about any
species of marsupials and associated plants and animals, from a range of
data bases such as Berkley Uni, Smithsonian inst., DBPedia and others.
the data results are needed as a mash-up result from several sources,
displayed as a form or a webpage.
