That still makes me wonder what the purpose of the "of" qualifier is in
relation to "position held".
Looking at the "position held" docs, n the example given they use:
Barrack Obama -> Position Held -> United State Senator -> of -> United
States
Senate.
This seems to be somewhat redundant information as the fact that he was "of"
the United States Senate seems to be implied by the very definition of being
a United States Senator. To recast it in terms of mayor, it would be like
saying Mayor of Frederick in Frederick.
The "of" qualifier is (IME) currently used for cases where we don't
have "X of Y", so we use "X" of "Y" - position held:
"mayor" of
"Frederick" rather than "mayor of Frederick"
Once we have the more specific property, we can just switch over and
stop using "of" qualifiers.
