Lydia, Let's be clear here:
" We'll have to see what kind of data Google can free up and which part of that the Wikidata community would like to take in. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Primary_sources_tool " Google IS freeing up all the data in Freebase. It is Wikidata that will pull in what it deems notable and worthy. Wording choices sometimes give the wrong vibe. :) Thad +ThadGuidry <https://www.google.com/+ThadGuidry> On Wed, May 27, 2015 at 5:47 AM, Lydia Pintscher < [email protected]> wrote: > Hey Laura, > > On Tue, May 26, 2015 at 3:57 PM, Laura DOMINIQUE > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > 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? > > This is something only Google can answer. > > > I suppose API calls would not remain the same.
