Hi,<br><br>I seem to have reached some sort of quota on writes to Freebase and now get the error :<br><br>"result status not okay: /api/status/error; error: Too many writes"<br><br>each time I try a write. Will this be reset eventually? If so, when. What is the limit?
<br><br>I am curious about the long term intent of the Freebase team for the database. Is it intended to be a Wikipedia alternate, with more formalized and flexible relationships between its instances, or is the value going to lie in external applications that use the data in Freebase? If the latter is part of the plan at all, some thought should be given to allowing private instances and types.
<br><br>External applications will often have need of grafting their own types onto Freebase instances in order to flag them or add meta data that would not be of interest to the general public browsing Freebase. You can force developers of Freebase applications to use private databases for this information, which seems to be the intent now, but in my opinion that is a mistake. If you want to encourage widespread development of Freebase powered apps, then make them as easy to develop as possible. Allowing private types and instances in Freebase will mean a developer can build a Freebase powered app and only have to worry about an MQL data access model and only one database for connectivity, greatly simplifying the development effort. Further, the object oriented nature of JSON/MQL is much more intuitive than RDB/SQL and will make such development accessible to a much wider audience of fledgling developers.
