stephen mallette closed TINKERPOP3-524.
---------------------------------------
    Resolution: Invalid

I think I will close this for now as the contents of the issue don't really relate to anything specific at this point.  I still think that it would be valuable to the community to know more about your approach once it gets more solidified around GA.  I guess we can revisit after that occurs.  Thanks.

> This is from the discussion in TINKERPOP3-489. I think it is easy to walk down 80% of the development path and then get to a point and say "I need meta-properties on edges". 
> Per the discussion in TINKERPOP3-489 and the points made by [~mbroecheler] on the difference between the vertex and edge concepts (and vertex properties vs. edge properties), when the question above is asked the edge should really be broken out and represented as a vertex since it is being used to try and represent a higher-level concept.
> This is a very easy trap to fall into and worth a paragraph in the docs.
