Hi Kingsley,
RDFization / Triplicifation of the Freebase Web Services (we've had this
since a few weeks after Banff)
great! Can you please explain this in a bit more detail.
Do you already provide a wrappers so that I can simply put a URI into the
Tabulator or DISCO adress bar and get the corresponding data from Freebase
displayed? Somethink like the RDF Book Mashup?
If yes, it would be great if you could send some example URIs to the list.
If this (as I guess) somehow involves SPONGER, could OpenLink setup SPONGER
in a way that is works like a simple RDF wrapper around the Freebase API and
so that people can just use the Freebase data with Tabulator or any other
Linked Data browser without having to go into the details of SPONGER first?
I think this would be really helpfull as we could interlink DBpedia and
Freebase afterwards :-)
Have a nice Sunday.
Cheers,
Chris

Hi all,
Metaweb has started to publish data dumps of the complete Freebase
dataset under Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) license. The dumps
are in a triple format (not RDF) and Metaweb will update the dumps every
three months from now on.
See:
http://blog.freebase.com/2008/03/28/full-data-dumps-are-now-available/
I think that it would really be exiting to turn these dumps into RDF,
publish them on the Web as Linked Data and interlink them with data sets
from the LOD cloud. For instance, interlinking them with DBpedia should
be very easy as both datasets contain Wikipedia article identifiers.
If somebody is interested in doing this, please contact me.
Robert Cook from Metaweb has pointed me at the dumps, so it looks like
Metaweb itself would also support this effort.
Chris,
Nice development in the right direction by Freebase :-)
There are dual benefits here:
1. SQL Data
2. XML Data
I see value in using the above to demonstrate:
1. Linked Data from SQL-RDF mapping (virtual triples)
2. Persistence of the Virtual Triples to create physical triples
3. RDFization / Triplicifation of the Freebase Web Services (we've had
this since a few weeks after Banff)
All of the above provide nice tutorial material re. the routes the
creating and publishing Linked Data which is still a moderately understood
subject.
We are certainly interested from an OpenLink (Virtuoso Storage and
Publishing) and also Zitgist perspective (Storage and Publishing that
leverages UMBEL).
There will be more on UMBEL and how Zitgist has used this to glue a myriad
of ontologies together resulting in a Linked Data based Concept Scheme
