I've just put together a first attempt at representing the Freebase type 
system as OWL ontologies. There's still some work to be done but I 
figured I'd give you guys an update and hopefully get some feedback on 
how I'm modeling these domains in OWL.

You can download it at 
http://www.simister.ca/temp/freebase-owl-03-10-07.zip. The way that it's 
set up right now is one OWL ontology per file per Freebase domain. Let 
me know what you think.
