Hi,

I have been using freebase for a while and my use cases involves simple
freebase suggest as you type scenario plus getting images/content for a
mid.

For such a scenario, do you think its better to wait for knowledge-graph
api or migrate to wikidata?

P.S: i have started some ground work for migration, but the content in
wikidata doesn't seem to be as good as freebase. For e.g., the wikidata api
for the movie matrix has no image (Wikipedia has, wikidata api doesn't)

Thanks,
Suraj Chandran

It is now general knowledge that:

The Knowledge Graph API will be using Wikidata as ONE of its sources.  There might even be instances where Wikidata has some bits of knowledge and even a slightly higher accuracy in certain domains (places where Human curators like to keep updated, etc).  Number of entities within each has yet to be determined or forecast.

You should plan for using: BOTH
