The semantic web can be quite a hard concept to grasp when discussed in an abstract way: the above video is a particularly useful clear exposition of the enormous promise and power the future of knowledge sharing holds. ... Source: weblog.infoworld.com --- 11 days ago

Freebase, the free and open database of everything, is sending an emissary to London and there'll be a gathering/meetup for Freebase contributors, app developers, and other enthusiasts. Come join us to talk about open data, mashups, etc over a pint and some food. I'm told there's free wifi, so laptops are welcome and I'm sure there'll be some informal demos and hacking going on. For more information or just to get in touch, email kirrily@metaweb.com . ...

Athough I’ve explored Freebase in several ways, I hadn’t seen the way it is now integrated — along with Wikipedia — into the Powerset demo of natural language search. It’s quite eye-opening to see the answer to a deceptively simple query like Tim O’Reilly’s siblings. Assuming that a database goes to the trouble of actually knowing [...] ...

For MIT's Project SIMILE, David Huynh built an amazing series of web tools for exploring and organizing structured information. Two months into his new gig at Metaweb, he's done it again. On this edition of Interviews with Innovators, host Jon Udell asks Huynh about his Parallax prototype, which creates a powerful new way for users to click their way through related sets of information in Freebase. In essence, a Wikipedia-like database built on a semantic web foundation. ... Source: blog.freebase.com --- 20 days ago
I’m not sure what time the “new this week” counter rolls over, but I thought I’d take a moment to capture these stats from our Olympics domain: That’s a lot of new information! Thanks to everyone who’s been plugging away at events as they occur. Meanwhile, Spellbound has posted an interesting article about exploring Freebase’s Olympics [...] ...

We mentioned last week that Freebase now officially supports Safari. To be honest it’s been pretty well supported for a while, except in some of the more esoteric areas, but now at least it’s official and we’ve removed that nasty warning that was scaring people away. And of course Safari support means iPhone support: Pretty, [...] ... Source: blog.freebase.com --- 22 days ago

Ordinarily we’d be having a user group meeting in mid-August, according to our not-very-official system of having one about every two months. Unfortunately, we’re remodelling Freebase HQ around then, and attempting to squeeze a user group meeting in there — especially one as huge as last time! — would be a recipe for disaster. So this time [...] ...

Freebase is growing, and as we get more and more people joining us to use and contribute data we’re finding it more and more important to actively support our community. Historically, support for Freebase has come from Metaweb employees, but that’s changing as time goes on. Many of our contributors are knowledgable experts too, and [...] ...

“Don’t just search for one thing! Explore a whole set of related things together.” This is the tagline of David Huynh’s new application, Parallax.

Stefano has already blogged about it: But last [...] ... Source: blog.freebase.com --- 7 days ago

Next week the Freebase offices are shut down for remodeling — we’re ripping out some walls and getting some natural light in, which will be great, even if it does mean that I lose my cubbyhole — and we’ve all been told to work from home for the duration.

On August 6, 2008, Dean Potter completed the first "Freebase" ascent of Deep Blue Sea (5.12+) on the north face of the Eiger (13,025'), Switzerland. He scaled the slightly overhanging limestone route solo, sans rope but with a five-pound BASE parachute for protection against the consequences of a fall. Last year, Potter was introduced to Deep Blue Sea by mountain guide and photographer Beat Kammerlander. While they were stormed off the face on Pitch 5, Potter said he recognized the potential that the route held for a Freebase ascent. He saw the opportunity, as he described, for "solo mentality and freedom without instantaneous death." Had it not been for the inclement weather conditions, he would have tried it then, he said. He returned to make his attempt this summer, and though weather conditions were similar, Potter was positioned for success. For half of the month, Potter lived in a cave 9,500' up the Eiger's west ridge. For the other half, he lived at the Horner Pub in Lauterbrunnen, as he describes, "dipping into a sort of a barfly existence." He filled his days with pushing his limits on overhanging limestone routes, honing his technique, and BASE jumping the cliffs in the mountains surrounding Lauterbrunnen a few times a day. When the weather offered a window, Potter made his climb. From the northwest arete of the Eiger, Potter traversed along a ledge to the base of the 600' headwall. The route from the arete allowed Potter to ... Find more results for Freebase on RSSMicro.com |
