I'm developing libraries to access Freebase in Scheme and Ruby, and am
wondering about nomenclature; specifically, whether to name the
packages 'metaweb' or 'freebase'.
The developer guide does have a brief note about Metaweb vs Freebase
right on the introduction page, and the way the examples are named
(metaweb.py, metaweb.js, etc) would certainly indicate that the
"Metaweb API" would be the preferred name, even more so if Freebase
doesn't end up being the only public instantiation of the technology.
However, given that this is your company name as well, I wanted to
explicitly seek a blessing on the matter before going off publishing
publicly available third-party libraries that use your name.
So: do you guys have any objections to developers naming Metaweb API
libraries generically after Metaweb instead of specifically after
Freebase?
