Well, I think it cannot be a boolean because there are at least 5 different values for a vote on the brazilian congress: yes, no, abstention, obstruction and art.17 (see the vote types list http://www.freebase.com/view/user/fabricio/brazilian_government/brazilian_governmental_vote_type ). And this number can potentially grow as well…
But I don't know, I am open for suggestions, the schema is still a draft, how do you suggest we tackle this different type of votes issue?

Sorry, should have looked deeper in, enumeration appears to be the corect choice for a limited but fixed set of choices.
Looking good, by the way.
Thanks!
One possible improvement in the current setup would be to merge the individual topics "Sim" and "Não" with the main Yes/No freebase entries if they exist, since it is the same thing :)
Yes, please! I realize that many of your potential contributors are Brazilian, but an English speaker interested in Brazilian politics should still be able to see that João is a Politician who voted Yes on this bill. Ditto for absentention and obstruction (and Art. 17); these are language-independent concepts which have both Portuguese and English names.
We may need a new type for political vote; that could be interesting.
Estou querendo cadastrar dados sobre os atuais politicos brasileiros, a idéia é ter uma base aqui no freebase que possa ser reaproveitada por aplicacoes externas em português.
A idéia é focar nos fatos, dados e referencias.
Como ponto de partida, estou começando pelos deputados que votaram SIM para a recriacao da CPMF em forma de CSS, baseado na lista do site http://www.soucontraacss.com.br/telas/deputados.asp veja a entrada para o voto favoravel a esta emenda aqui no freebase pelo endereço: http://www.freebase.com/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000008b364d3?domain=%2Fuser%2Ffabricio%2Fdefault_domain&pid=%2Fuser%2Ffabricio%2Fdefault_domain%2Fgovernmental_vote%2Fvoter
Com o tempo e ajuda de outros, a idéia é expandir a base de dados para pegar tb senadores, prefeitos, vereadores e todos as pessoas que possuem ou ja possuiram cargos políticos no Brasil.
Se voce tem alguma sugestao de atributo novo ou qualquer modificacao a ser feita no modelo de dados "Político Brasileiro", por favor avise, uma vez que ainda está em draft e não foi proposto p/ ser incluido no domínio principal.
Well, I don't understand Brazilian, but from what I can comprehend is that you've created a Brazilian Politician type and want assistance with it. My suggestion would be to publish it and post a note to the data modeling list (http://lists.freebase.com/) to see if anyone would like to collaborate with you.
One other suggestion: you might get more responses to your question(s) if you post in English.
Thanks Bryan! Yes, the kind of help I need at the moment would be best to come from brazilians, hence the post in portuguese.
This type is still very early alpha stage and constantly changing, once it gets to a more stable stage I will sure ask for feedback from the data modelling folks :)
Thanks anyways!
