Tom,

Thanks for the excellent mini-tutorial. I was able to reproduce your
examples, and your analogy of types to tables was very helpful as the
explanation of Domains as ways to group together types (I assume you
can also have multi level domains.)

So next step, which I wasn't able to solve. What if I want to look up
people called X who are (might be) US politicians.

John F Kennedy => X-president

Mitt Romney => X-governor of Mass, and X-presidential candidate

John McKain => US Senator, x- presidential candidate

Barack Obama => US President, x-presidential candidate

Pito Salas => Not a politican in the US

John Bark => Dog Catcher in Arlington is Ma in the USA.

Too crazy? Am I going beyond the intended scope of Freebase?

Also, btw, what's a 'base' in the lingo? It looks like types can be
defined in more than one base, but I am not sure?

Thanks!!
