Hello,

I've just noticed the domain/range of mo:similar_to includes mo:Genre,
mo:Signal, and foaf:Agent. I think mo:Signal should really be
replaced by mo:MusicalExpression. This accomadates the rather common
scenario where an individual, perhaps in a blog post, states that
"Track A is similar to Track B" - the individual is refering to the
mo:Track here not really the mo:Signal imho. Similar scenarios might
exist for mo:Record's or mo:Score's

Alternatively the domain/range could be left completely open.

Happy new year mo'ers.

True, although I am guessing we need to add mo:Track explicitly to its
domain/range (as it is a subclass of mo:MusicalManifestation, not
MusicalExpression) - can you add it to the TODO list?

Indeed (owl:Thing as domain/range). Not sure what is best, really.

Cheers,
