      Hello,
      I am working on getting all dog breeds properly listed in freebase. I am running into an issue that the type dog breed belongs to a specific user and doesn't have all properties that should be there.

      • Can you help me understand how a user created property is different than a freebase public one?
      • Also, it seems as though i shouldn't see a specific users types other than my own. Could you explain the logic and if there is a way to see data without users types.
      • Finally if a type like dog breed is not public, how can i get one that is public and standardized.

      Hopefull this made sense :)

        If a user publishes a type, other users will see it; if the user does not, other users will not.

        We will continue to evolve more view filters as Freebase grows, but right now, that’s pretty much it.

        Commenting on Toby’s type was a good start; you may also want to comment on the user’s profile itself to bring it to his attention.

        The general model is that a user (you, Toby, or anyone else) prototypes a type in their private domain and experiments with it a bit. Then the user publishes it and invites other users to try it out. Then the user requests that the administrators of an appropriate domain promote the type, or requests creation of a new domain if the subject is complicated enough.

        I recommend the data modeling mailing list for these collaborations.
