I agree that an RDF dump of the data makes sense.
There are important details though, like how to represent
the schema.  Shawn Simister previously posted about
creating an OWL ontology from the freebase types, rather
than using RDF Schema, which seemed sensible.

The key point was that Shawn was able to extract the data
and turn it into those formats, using HTTP, MQL and JSON.
