Freebase: A Collaboratively Created Graph Database For Structuring Human Knowledge

Summary: Collaboratively created graph DB for structuring knowledge; scalable tuple store with 125M+ tuples, 4k+ types, 7k+ properties. Public read/write via HTTP-based graph-query API; MQL as a data query/manipulation language for web-based collaborative apps. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
