One other issue to bear in mind: it's *simple* to have properties as a

Saying "here are items, here are a set of properties you can define
relating to them, here's some notes on how to use properties" is going
to get a lot more people able to contribute than if they need to start
understanding theoretical aspects of semantic relationships...
Good point. The thread has really gone off in a rather philosophical
direction :-) As Jane said, examples (of places where a property should be
used *and* of places where it should not be used) are definitely much more
useful to help our editors on the ground. I usually use items I know as role
models or have a look for suitable showcase items.
Soon the entity suggester will help you here by simply suggesting a
list of properties likely missing in the item. Currently blocked on
some final code-review at the Foundation. /me goes and pokes again.
