[Data-modeling] Structured or typed weblinks?

[Tom Morris]

The mechanism described by Chris is used for the U.S. National
Register of Historic Places and the Congressional Bioguide entries,
but one limitation to be aware of is that it currently only allows for
a single URL to be displayed for each entry.  Also, since the template
is tied to an enumeration, no two restaurants can share the URL.  They
must all be unique in the namespace used for the enumeration.  You can
see some examples at:

http://www.freebase.com/view/en/ted_kennedy
http://www.freebase.com/view/en/washington_monument

If you're interested in pursuing this approach, there are cookbook
entries for modeling the enumeration and the URI template, but you'll
need to do some of the enumeration setup through the explore/explore2
views since the schema editor no longer supports the method described
in the cookbook.
