Hi David, Right, Cargo is stricter than Semantic MediaWiki about entering data: you can't come up with your own property names and their values. I think that’s a plus: the data structure, set of allowed values, etc. should be consistent across all pages, not subject to arbitrary changes on individual pages. If there are subtleties in the data that can't be fully handled with the current structure (and there often are), then you indeed may have to consider those kinds of of options, and decide in each case on the best tradeoff between simplicity and flexibility.
