[Data-modeling] Animal breeds and owners

[John Giannandra]

Paul, thats a nice site.

w.r.t ITIS numbers, we have about 40k ITIS TSNs mapped in freebase (and about 23K NCBI numbers).
So you can view something like:  
    http://freebase.com/view/biology/itis/180528

And you can download the data directly at 
    http://download.freebase.com/datadumps/2009-01-13/browse/biology/organism_classification.tsv

There are currently ~84K organism classifications in freebase and the 40K mostly reflects the overlap between ITIS and Wikipedia when we last did the import.  There has been some discussion about importing all of ITIS even though we dont have blurbs and images for most of those Taxa.  Let me know if that would be useful for your project, or if there is particular data that you would like to contribute or see contributed to freebase.

    Speaking of animals,  I've got my own little site at

http://animalphotos.info/a/

    I've done about 50% of the site using semweb techniques,  so I've 
got a mapping between ITIS numbers and wikipedia articles -- and that 
mapping is going to get better as I do more loads.

    Is there any way I could do a bulk load of ITIS numbers to freebase?
