One other issue to bear in mind: it's *simple* to have properties as a separate thing. I have been following this discussion with some interest but... well, I don't think I'm particularly stupid, but most of it is completely above my head.
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.
