[Data-modeling] Freebase Supercentenarians

[Shawn Simister]

According to Wikipedia, a supercentenarian is anyone who lives past the 
extremely rare age of 110. The longest proven lifespan was that of 
Jeanne Calment, who was born in 1875 and lived to be 122 years old. The 
oldest known person alive today is Edna Parker who is 115 years old.

When I queried Freebase for people born before 1886, I found an 
estimated 451,000 people who were born over 122 years ago and are not 
yet typed as deceased people. I think it would be fairly safe to go 
through and automatically mark these people as deceased even if we don't 
know the date of their death.
