[Data-modeling] Freebase Schemas weirdness

[Stefano Mazzocchi]

While working on the schema explorer I came across a bunch of things 
that don't look quite right, notably:

  1) /atom is a domain about.... feeds. Am I the only one to think that 
is really a bad name for it? (I understand this was created a long time 
ago when the graph was small, but still)

  2) /nytimes, /wikipedia and /imbd are domains that contain one type 
each and no instances.... are these really domains (they are typed as 
so) or just key namespaces?

  3) why aren't /pipeline and /dataworld a subdomain of /freebase like 
/freebase/apps is?

  4) why is /cricket not co-typed "/freebase/domain_profile" like all 
the other consumer domains are?

  5) why are there so many special namespaces off of the root node? are 
they used or are they vestigial? see http://tinyurl.com/qqenbz

Thanks!
