This is great. I would definitely use the site to find cc car photos. Looking forward to seeing this model for everything. Finding cc photos is really timeconsuming using other tools.<br><br>As the data set grows you should consider adding the freebase suggest (autocomplete) service for searching.<br>

I fused data from dbpedia and freebase to construct a taxonomy of<br>
automobiles to build the following site:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://carpictures.cc/" target="_blank">http://carpictures.cc/</a><br>
<br>
I've still got some work to do on the site, but I'm already starting<br>
the o.e. work for a project that's going to be a hundred times larger.<br>
<br>
One of the interesting things that came out of the project was that<br>
there were pretty big holes in both the freebase and dbpedia taxonomy of<br>
cars: in particular, there are a lot of cars in Freebase that don't<br>
have types on them. (Freebase's car data seems to be strongest for<br>
recent cars that are covered in <a href="http://fueleconomy.gov" target="_blank">fueleconomy.gov</a>.) When it comes to<br>
older cars, I had to use a crawl & filter strategy to expand the car<br>
categories to get a good list. Once I get the last few false positives<br>
out, I'd be interested in using the Freebase API to push the missing<br>
types into fbase. I'm also interested in helping freebasers find the<br>
images that are in my system.<br>
<br>
The big picture is to make something like the Flickr Wrapper that<br>
actually works. I'd like to create a resolver where people can feed<br>
dbpedia, freebase and other identifiers that point to named entities<br>
and get creative commons multimedia resources with very high precision.<br>
<br>
Any feedback?<br>
