A new question occurred to me today, based on a peripheral comment at
http://ontoworld.org/wiki/Talk:N-ary_relations . (I post there as Stormraven.)
Let's say I have a lengthy article about a prominent person; the talk page uses
Ronald Reagan for various examples. And within that article there is a section
that's lengthy enough to break out into its own article, such as "Presidency of
Ronald Reagan." Now, within that article there might be several relations that
properly take Ronald Reagan as the subject, but now that they're in the new
article, they take Presidency of Ronald Reagan as the subject, like "friend of"
--> Margaret Thatcher or "left office on date" --> January 20, 1989.
These relations are now misplaced. To solve the problem, I could use common,
non-annotated links in the "Presidency of Ronald Reagan" article and put the
relations back into the Ronald Reagan article, but they'd be empty-piped links
(such as [[friend of::Margaret Thatcher| ]] ) because they don't relate to any
links or other text remaining in the article. And there'd probably be a lot of
them, a whole cluster of empty-piped links related to information no longer
contained in the article. Or I can leave them in the new article, leading to
the semantic interpretation that the presidency of Ronald Reagan left office in
1989 (which almost makes sense) and that Lady Thatcher was a friend of the
presidency of Ronald Reagan (which really doesn't make much sense at all).
Is there a way to redirect relations to their proper subjects in such a
situation?
