[Developers] Adding a webpage to a topic.

[Arthur van Hoff]

I understand, but that seems counter intuitive in the context of
Freebase. Shouldn't each webpage be described by a single unambiguous
instance that can have properties such as author, copyright, title, etc?
The URL could be a key to find this object.

 

If /common/topic/webpage is simply a URI, then why not make it a value
type like /type/uri? The use of a compound value confused me in this
case.

compound values are not intended to be shared because if you edit topic
A's webpage you didnt mean to edit topic B's at the same time.
