Freebase Hack Day & Updates
Our friends at Freebase are having another Hack Day in San Francisco this July. It’s only two weeks away now and the remaining tickets can go fast, get involved http://blog.freebase.com/2009/06/26/two-weeks-til-freebase-hack-day-sign-up-now/.
Learn about the many cool things that Freebase is doing with their data, and the tools that can be built using their platform.
On a side note, http://infochimps.org/ has gotten a facelift. We’d love feedback on it: info@infochimps.org. We hope your browsing experience is better, and we will be happy to roll out new features soon!
Amazon Web Services hosts DBpedia, Freebase data sets
The Infochimps.org community played part in pushing DBpedia and Freebase data sets to Amazon Web Services. This is an auxiliary effort by Infochimps.org to increase access to data. It is important to have the data in places where there are the right tools for people to use it. AWS is the place, look at creating an Amazon Machine Image to start working with the new data sets. Our MachetEC2 can help, please let us know how your experience was in using it.
Thanks to Kingsley Idehen with Linked Open Data for being a good point of contact.
We will upload more data sets to AWS in the near future. Any requests?
