[Data-modeling] modeling a mediator with an included type

[Ed Laurent]

You probably want to use CVTs for roommates. I created some schema in a
Celeb sandbox base and added you as an admin. Not really sure what the Heat,
Interest, and Source info are about but I grouped them together into another
CVT to show you how that can be done too.
