Metaweb has published Freebase data dumps

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.

Cheers

Chris
