Hi brendan<br>i am tim</blockquote><div> [snip] <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>My freebase is about marsupials and i want to fine-tune it, in fact it needs to contain all available info about marsupials.<br>
How can I set my freebase so it gathers data automatically and can it index it for me itself after collecting data from round the web? <br>So that queries automatically gather and present the details about any species of marsupials and associated plants and animals, from a range of data bases such as Berkley Uni, Smithsonian inst., DBPedia and others.<br>
the data results are needed as a mash-up result from several sources, displayed as a form or a webpage.</blockquote><div><br>Hi Tim,<br><br>There's a lot of data that will be useful to you already in Freebase (e.g., <a href="http://www.freebase.com/type/schema/biology/organism_classification" target="_blank">Organism classification</a>). You may want to check out the <a href="http://www.freebase.com/view/biology" target="_blank">Biology</a>, <a href="http://litcentral.freebase.com" target="_blank">LitCentral</a>, <a href="http://conservationaction.freebase.com/" target="_blank">Conservation Action</a>, <a href="http://birdconservation.freebase.com/" target="_blank">Bird Conservation</a>, and <a href="http://birdinfo.freebase.com/" target="_blank">Bird Info</a> bases for ideas on modeling marsupials. In particular, the Biology schema and most of the LitCentral and Conservation Action schema were modeled to be relevant to any taxa. <br>
<br>There are many ways to get data into Freebase. However, linking or adding data from other database systems will likely require some
work on your part modeling compatible Freebase schema, as well as obtaining and
formatting the data or keys from other sources. Note that these other data sets must be under Creative Commons or compatible licensing. There
are ways to automate the import of data into Freebase but you will need to program most of
them yourself. The <a href="http://www.freebase.com/help" target="_blank">help files</a> accessible at the top of any Freebase page are a great place to start learning more. <br><br>-Ed<br></div></div>
