The "Products producer" type with a "Products produced" property sounds pretty good to me. The "Product" type a little less so. Would every tangible topic (including people) need to be typed as a product? What defines a product that separates it from other tangible topics? I agree that this kind of type could be very useful and there should be reciprocation between product and producer but I'm not excited about this approach to doing it.
