Hi brendan<br>i am tim<br>I disagree and think 'towers' is an important class of objects to keep.<br>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. <br>
They are a class of objects in their own right in my view.<br>Why do you want to remove the class? <br>I am new I thought the more the merrier was the approach.<br>Structures is a very broad term, sentences, stories and thoughts have structures.<br>
Buildings is another term, however 'tower' means a type of building or construction.<br>Is it better to expand the tower class rather than remove it?<br><br>My freebase is about marsupials and i want to fine-tune it, in fact it needs to contain all available info about marsupials.<br>
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? <br>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.<br>
the data results are needed as a mash-up result from several sources, displayed as a form or a webpage.<br><br> <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jun 5, 2009 at 9:22 AM, brendan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:brendan@metaweb.com">brendan@metaweb.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

type. It has no properties and is too vague a category of structure<br>
to merit it's own type. The structure type covers the important<br>
properties. The 12 existing tower's will be de-typed manually (they<br>
will still be structure's) Any objections?<br>
