I commented already in your "Mentions" discussion: <a href="http://www.freebase.com/type/schema/book/scholarly_work?domain=%2Fbook">http://www.freebase.com/type/schema/book/scholarly_work?domain=%2Fbook</a><br><br>
Now that I see how you are using this, I'm wondering if the "Acknowledged people" property of scholarly work would suffice if the description was broadened to include acknowledgments anywhere in the work: <a href="http://www.freebase.com/type/schema/book/scholarly_work?domain=%2Fbook">http://www.freebase.com/type/schema/book/scholarly_work?domain=%2Fbook</a><br>

I needed a way to link topics to the works they were mentioned in, so<br>
created two prototype types:<br>
<br>
Work-Mentioned (equivalent to Work)<br>
<<a href="http://www.freebase.com/type/schema/user/freebass/default_domain/work" target="_blank">http://www.freebase.com/type/schema/user/freebass/default_domain/work</a>><br>
and Topic-Mentioned (equivalent to Topic)<br>
<<a href="http://www.freebase.com/type/schema/user/freebass/default_domain/topic_mentioned" target="_blank">http://www.freebase.com/type/schema/user/freebass/default_domain/topic_mentioned</a>>,<br>
<br>
adding "Mentions" and "Mentioned In" as reciprocal properties for those types.<br>
<br>
Here's a view making use of these properties:<br>
<<a href="http://www.freebase.com/view/user/freebass/default_domain/views/the_characters_of_physical_law" target="_blank">http://www.freebase.com/view/user/freebass/default_domain/views/the_characters_of_physical_law</a>><br>
derived from the "Mentioned In" links shown here:<br>
<<a href="http://www.freebase.com/view/en/the_character_of_physical_law?domain=%2Fuser%2Ffreebass%2Fdefault_domain" target="_blank">http://www.freebase.com/view/en/the_character_of_physical_law?domain=%2Fuser%2Ffreebass%2Fdefault_domain</a>><br>
<br>
If this makes sense, perhaps these reciprocal properties could be<br>
added to the official "Work" and "Topic" types?<br>
<br>

<br>
P.S. I just noticed that there isn't an overarching "Work" type, just<br>
"Written Work", "Book", "Film", etc. so the "Mentions" property would<br>
have to be added to each of those, and "Mentioned In" would have to<br>
allow those as targets.<br>
