[Developers] navigate from a freebase topic to an alternate visualization

[Jack Alves]

Dae asked me to send this note to the developers list. I think I need to do
that before he will tell me the bookmarkable javascript I can use to
navigate from freebase to cinespin.

I want CineSpin to accept id which could be a guid or a key so it can be
invoked by a javascript bookmark.
 
For instance today when I'm viewing "John Ford" the url looks like,
http://www.freebase.com/view?id=/wikipedia/en_id/280738
 
In the future it might look like,
http://www.freebase.com/api/metaweb/view?id=%239202a8c04000641f80000000001ad
475
 
 
So CineSpin should accept an valid id,
 
/filmSpin/index.html#/id=9202a8c04000641f800000000015050b
<http://kidbombay.com/clients/freebase/filmSpin/index.html#/guid=9202a8c0400
0641f800000000015050b> 
/filmSpin/index.html#/id=/wikipedia/en_id/280738
<http://kidbombay.com/clients/freebase/filmSpin/index.html#/guid=9202a8c0400
0641f800000000015050b> 
 
In either case you can do the following to get the guid and type if you need
it for your existing queries,
 
QUERY
{
  "query":{
    "guid":null,
    "id":"/wikipedia/en_id/280738",
    "name":null,
    "type":null,
    "type|=":["/film/film","/film/director","/film/actor"]
  }
}
 
OR QUERY
{
  "query":{
    "guid":null,
    "id":"#9202a8c04000641f80000000001ad475",
    "name":null,
    "type":null,
    "type|=":["/film/film","/film/director","/film/actor"]
  }
}
 
 
RESULT
{
  "q1": {
    "status": "/mql/status/ok", 
    "result": {
      "guid": "#9202a8c04000641f80000000001ad475", 
      "type": "/film/director", 
      "id": "/wikipedia/en_id/280738", 
      "name": "John Ford"
    }
  }, 
  "status": "200 OK"
}
 
 
The "|=" constriant is described in,
