      Well,

      A new environment, a new paradigm.

      I'm getting it from all directions viz. DPdpedia, Freebase, SystemOne, YAGO, Wikipedia3. How do they all stack up? What are the compelling differentiators? Is it data? Is it interface? Is it community? Or (gawd forbid!), all of the above?

      I like what I see here so far. Chrono: 4/16/07; 23:00 CDT.

        DBpedia and Wikipedia 3 seem to have a lot in common -- get any available structured data into a triple repository so it can be queried.

        Freebase is taking a different approach. We are figuring out ways to extracting structured data from Wikipedia, but we are doing it in a more measured way. We're cleaning up selected data through automated and semi-automated ways to ensure very high quality output that can serve as a basis for further refinements by a community. We have less data, but what we do have is more refined.
