Hi Team, I'm working at Dailymotion and we are currently using Freebase to gather information about Topic mentioned in our video catalogue:
* It is used upon upload where user can enter tags on video (list of tag is based on Freebase's topic list) * It is also used to create pages around a topic and thus classifies videos (example: http://www.dailymotion.com/us/topic/01mpq7s-beyonce-knowles) Note that this project is only on Beta version on our side. However, we have closely followed the announcement around the migration to Wikidata and have some questions: * Can you confirm what is the new planning as it is said Freebase would still exists after the 30th of June 2015? * I suppose API calls would not remain the same. Would there be a mapping provided to ease the switch? * Would the entire set of topics included in Freebase be migrated to Wikidata? If not, how the selection would be done? * For a given topic, is there some information that would not be integrated in Wikidata (for example: alias, official_website,...) Many thanks in advance for your feedback on that.
