Most frequent isn't the same as most important.  Has this been
reviewed by anyone who's familiar with the Freebase schema?  Google
knows all the stuff I've listed below and could save a lot of wasted
effort by people who aren't familiar with the schema.

Most of the stuff in the /base/* domains should probably be ignored
for a first pass and some, like /base/schemastaging should be ignored
permanently unless they've also got an alias in the commons namespace
due to being promoted. Ditto for the /user/* domains.  I don't see
anything from the /authority namespace which is arguably the most
important part of Freebase -- all it's reconciled strong identifiers
for IMDB, Library of Congress, New York Times, etc.

Some of the properties which are included have been replaced by keys
in the /authority namespace tree, e.g.

https://www.freebase.com/book/author/openlibrary_id
https://www.freebase.com/user/narphorium/people/nndb_person/nndb_id

These can be identified programaticly by looking at the schema where
the /type/property/enumeration property will point at the namespace
where the identifier is stored (/authority/openlibrary/author &
/authority/nndb, respectively).  Note that, for historical reasons,
some of the earlier key namespaces have aliases outside of the tree
rooted at /authority.  For example, the property
https://www.freebase.com/biology/organism_classification/itis_tsn
enumerates its identifiers in a namespace which is aliased as both
/biology/itis and /authority/itis.
https://www.freebase.com/biology/itis?keys=

All hidden properties should probably be ignored.  Most (all?)
deprecated properties should probably be ignored.  There was a
discussion about ISBN, but these can be identified by introspecting
the schema: https://www.freebase.com/book/book_edition/ISBN

There's a bunch of internal bookkeeping cruft included in that list
that should be excluded, e.g.:

The properties below are for text and images which were uploaded and
are of questionable provenance/rights status, so can probably be
ignored (and aren't made available by Google in current data dumps):

https://www.freebase.com/type/content/blob_id
https://www.freebase.com/type/content_import/content
https://www.freebase.com/type/content_import/header_blob_id
https://www.freebase.com/type/content_import/uri
https://www.freebase.com/type/content/languagelanguage of work (or
name) (P407)See also original language of work (P364)
https://www.freebase.com/type/content/length
https://www.freebase.com/type/content/media_type
https://www.freebase.com/type/content/source
https://www.freebase.com/type/content/text_encoding
https://www.freebase.com/type/content/uploaded_by

Overall my impression is that there's still a significant amount of
very, very basic groundwork to be completed before it's reasonable to
ask people to contribute their effort to doing/reviewing the mappings.
Have you asked Google staffers familiar with the Freebase schema to
review?

I'll second Marco's questions about the status of the previous
attempts at automated mappings and automated mappings in general.  Has
any effort been made to do an initial automated mapping that humans
could then review?
