Are there anyone here that downloaded and played with their data set (PG dump). I have fiddled with one of their table to process their Wikipedia data. I think Google bought it for their supposedly wicked-fast GraphDB.
I haven't downloaded the data set for the fact that it doesn't look like the accompanying MQL server is available for download. Am I correct on this?
MQL is sweet (e.g. give me all of Tom Cruise's movies since 1995 that have cost over 10million dollars to make), but what good is the data dump if all I can do is resort to simplistic SQL queries? MQL support is just as important as the data itself.
I'm sure that I'm overlooking something simple as usual (shameless self-deprecation reference in an attempt to hold myself less accountable in the event that there's an easy solution available but I was just too lazy to find it).
AFAIK you need to process that data - put it into a graph db or a RDF store. SQL/MQL/RDF/OWL are all just query languages that can query the data.
BTW there is no open source MQL implementation.
the place where I'm now (http://cascaad.com) does use the freebase dumps as a primary source for out entity database (though more are in the works). It is pretty usable even if some interesting data is not available. The dev list and irc channel is also a very useful source.
We hope to be able to provide rdf/rdfa links at some point, because, hey, the semantic web is a darn cool thing :)
