Probably the most accessible way to view it is online at the web site. You can either start with an instance like the Little Mermaid and click on the associated types e.g. https://www.freebase.com/book/book?schema= or you can start at a domain like https://www.freebase.com/book?schema= and browse from there to the associated types, properties, and instances. Pretty much everything should be clickable so, in the schema view, you can click on the target type of a property (ie its range in OWL terms) to see what properties that type has. One advantage, I find, of viewing the schema and instances together is that you can see how the types are used, which ones are well populated and which ones aren't, etc. The other domains which might be of interest include: https://www.freebase.com/media_common?schema= https://www.freebase.com/film?schema= https://www.freebase.com/music?schema= https://www.freebase.com/visual_art?schema= https://www.freebase.com/opera?schema= Let me know if you have any questions. I don't work for Google, but I'm pretty familiar with both the Freebase schema and data. Tom
