Introduction

The infovore framework divides Freebase into several Horizontal Subdivisons. Some of these divisions contain the same data expressed in different ways: for instance the key and the keyNs divisions express the same information in two different ways, as do the label and name divisions.

The compact edition achieves high performance and low operating cost through selection of a minimal subset of Freebase data. (The complete edition is there if you have to have it all.)

Included data

The compact edition contains the following divisions of Freebase

a          facts of the nature ":a rdf:type :b"
key        freebase keys expressed as /-separated paths (ex "/wikipedia/en/Wall_of_Voodoo")
label      names for things specified as rdfs:label
links      links between concepts in Freebase
literals   literal facts about Freebase concepts

The parts loaded are specified by this shell script

This product also contains :Subjective Eye 3D for :BaseKB. (See more information).

Excluded information

The following subdivisions are not included in the Compact Edition

description           full text descriptions of topics
dotdot                materialized property paths that pass through CVTs
keyNs                 the Freebase key structure expressed as a directed acyclic graph
name                  label information expressed with Freebase-specific vocabulary
text                  additional descriptive text
webpages              links to outside web pages

notability            a graph connected with notable types
notableForPredicate   a second graph connected with notable types

Future evolution and other products

Future releases of the compact edition may include webpages links. The notable type information helps deal with cases such as Arnold Schwarzenegger where a topic (often a purpose) has a large number of types and it is necessary to express the most important one. The format of notability information is awkward, and future versions of the compact edition may contain notability information packaged for improved ease-of-use.
