[Developers] Editing longer text fields.

[Faye Li]

Hi Arthur,

A little off-topic as I'm trying to understand your data model and see 
if there's a better way to support that. At least for this topic, I see 
that the content of the Summary (/type/text) is identical to that of the 
Description (/common/topic/article). So my questions are:

1) What's the purpose of the Summary property, and how is it different 
from that of the topic article, if at all?
2) If it tends to contain sentences instead of short phrases, would it 
serve your purpose better to set the expected type as 
/common/topic/article if that can be handled well by the Freebase app?

Dan,
I recall that the idea of allowing/supporting multiple articles on a 
topic came up last year. Was a definitive decision made on that?

Thanks,
-- Faye
