Should this be an article or a semantic property? -- Chuckhoffmann 19:57, 19 February 2012 (EST)
Should alma mater be an article or a semantic property? I would think the latter, because then it would allow us to use semantic queries for doing things like assembling a list of alumni for George Mason University. However, my knowledge of semantic wiki stuff is limited. --Chuckhoffmann 19:57, 19 February 2012 (EST)

 * Semantic property. I don't think having a article is the right place for it. I think the same can go for Category:Democratic and Category:Republican. My knowledge is pretty limited as well, though. Josh is the expert on this.

 * I'd tend to say property as well. With SMW, we really should only be having one category for each article, describing the rest with properties. Wikipedia doesn't use SMW so they have several (sometimes a dozen or so!) to describe what categories plus properties give us. I think we should work on infoboxes before properties however.
