RIP Freebase & data dump question

[Tom Morris]

A fitting last triple by Gordon:

As he says "requiescat in pace."  It was a fun ride, despite the sad ending.

Speaking of ending, it looks like some of the internal pipelines were still running until July, so folks might want to grab the latest data dump if you stopped looking when the dumps ended back in April, 2015.

The latest Freebase data dump currently is: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/freebase-public/rdf/freebase-rdf-2015-08-09-00-01.gz

Even though writes apparently stopped in mid-July, there are several dumps in July and August with slightly different sizes.

Anyone know what accounts for the differences among the July & August dumps (they seem to be different sizes)?

Also, anyone have accurate final stats?  Total facts written, live facts, topics?  The Freebase home page is claiming 3,041,722,635 facts (and 49,947,845 topics), but the max GUID is 9202a8c04000641f8000000046d5d956, which I make to be 1.8 billion triples/quads over all time.  Does each one get counted more than once?

yeah, thanks Tom.

I'm optimistic about the afterlife of freebase data, in its many forms.

I'm working on an epic one-liner that reduces the dump (in a totally opinionated way) from 250gb to 3.4gb (98%). I'll put it somewhere as a mongo dump or something. There's value in having something laptop-friendly, and `s/RDF//`, for people to nerd-out with.

If someone wants to make a Freebase 2, they could really just do everything freebase did, again. None of the design decisions, or social-policy fell apart, and that speaks to how well-conceived it was. It was killed because it was working, not because it wasn't.

DBpedia & ConceptNet are doing well at publishing quarterly or whatever, maybe that could be what freebase will become.

My~ last triple was 'Kian', https://www.freebase.com/m/0130f9_n, the first neural network of Wikidata, created in March 2015 (a close call with the deadline!). I got a kick out of telling Freebase who might end up being the AI source at Wikidata, it's final resting place ;-). But I am easily amused!  

Thanks to everybody who helped me learn!

I'd also like some final stats like from the former Expert Hub - total writes/user, votes (old & new pipleline)/user, topic/user, etc. Do you think the queries from the old Expert Hub are still good to create that data?
