[Developers] mapping Freebase to KR systems?

[Shawn Simister]

I have been developing a tool in Ruby which translates Freebase types 
into OWL ontologies that are viewable in tools like Protege. The results 
have been encouraging and I would like to try to start mapping Freebase 
topics to RDF instances using these OWL ontologies. I have attached a 
sample OWL ontology for the /people/person type and I can make the code 
available to you as soon as I have the Freebase Ruby API cleaned up.
