We would be happy to help support this effort to make our data more LOD friendly. One reason we did not yet emit simple RDF ourselves was potential confusion about mapping specific freebase properties to the larger range of possible ontologies. It would be simple to declare a new set of URIs for our schema, much harder to pick and choose from the large array of available ontologies for the range of our data. We have been experimenting with using freebase itself to help catalog compatible ontologies for specific freebase properties. For example http://www.freebase.com/view/user/jamie/web_ontology/property_mapping If folks want to help with this, then it should be possible to use our open API to generate RDF of whatever 'flavor' you happen to be working with, by specifying a preferred set of ontologies at query time. -jg
