[Developers] Creating your own types (or mapping PAD format to Freebase)

Hi,

I would like to have the possibility to create a type for PAD format 
(http://198.63.208.118/pad/) on Freebase.
PAD format is an 'standard' for describing software applications in a 
XML and is used for many software directories.
Since many thousands of PADs are available I would like to upload part 
of the contents to Freebase to visualize them, like Cinespin but for 
software.
I have found the 'Software' type but a type related with PAD will be 
more transparent to upload current software base.

My questions are: Is it possible to create a type? or do I need some 
permissions?


Thanks,
Sebastian
