    Description

      Freebase does not link any linked data set, but uses Freebase keys to represent IDs used for an Freebase entity within other data sets. However it does not support direct links to URIs of Entities in other datasets.

      In addition Freebase uses a special encoding for keys [1]. Therefore key values need

      This processor will include support for generating owl:sameAs links to DBPedia as well as Musicbrainz but may be extended to additional datasets in the future.

      DBPedia linking:


      Freebase does not link to DBPedia, but provides links to Wikipedia. But because DBPedia does use the same local names as Wikipedia this is not a problem. Freebase provides links to all Wikipedia languages. The mapping will prefer links to the English language version. Only for Entities where there is no link to the English version it will consider other language versions.

      Freebase often links several Wikipedia pages (of the same language) to a Freebase entity. Most often those versions are only redirected pages on Wikipedia. Because of that the linking will try to link only to the main page. This is determined by taking the name of the Freebase entity; replacing ' ' with '_' and looking if a key for that value exists. If this is not the case all links are included.

      Musicbrainz linking:
      ------

      Freebase provides musicbrainz.org IDs as keys. However to provide correct links based on those IDs one needs to also consider the type of the Entity as musicbrainz uses the types in for URIS - e.g.

      http://musicbrainz.org/recording/71158621-b261-4d3f-8b35-592014dc1fbb
      http://musicbrainz.org/release/f3c72169-6a7e-4594-a507-23360652f59c
      http://musicbrainz.org/artist/a4d486bd-6020-4a36-9c7d-bf5ce174bcd1

      The following mappings between Freebase types (rdf:type) and musicbrainz type names do exist

      recording => http://rdf.freebase.com/ns/music.recording
      artist => http://rdf.freebase.com/ns/music.artist
      release => http://rdf.freebase.com/ns/music.release

      Configuration:


      The configuration will allow to enable/disable the mappings for dbpedia and freebase
