More examples linked from the main page: http://iandavis.com/2009/lodgrid/ Ian On Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 10:23 AM, Daniel O'Connor <daniel.oconnor@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > This talk might have been seen by some of you; but was certainly new to me: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lCSDOuqv1A&feature=autoshare > Much of this is an exploration of how google is making use of freebase's > underlying linked data to better understand what they are crawling - > deriving what something is by examining its attributes; and automatically > creating something like linked data from it. > > Additionally; it talks about Google squared - this tool appears to be > heavily powered by freebase data; as well as derived data from the web.
