Looks similar to the corporate stock photo, so I wanted to double-check the copyright status. Thanks!
-
I suspect it was uploaded under the terms of fair use, but for some reason the image page doesn't say so. I'll check with the guy who uploaded it (I'm copying his user profile on this thread.)
-
Thank you for looking into it! Fair use for me is a bit different than copyright free (or some CC flavor) because it would impact the commercial use possibilities.
-
Yup, that's certainly true. If you're looking for stuff that's absolutely OK for commercial use, I suggest you use a MQL query to look into the license on an image, and limit it to those which have licenses that fit for your purposes (i.e. PD, CC-BY, or whatever). I can help you with that if you're unfamiliar with how to do it.
-
Totally unfamiliar, but I do know other similar languages, so if you had an example that was close, I could disect and repurpose it. Thank you!
-
There are examples and documentation in the help center. If you only need to look at a couple of images, you can do it manually; the licensed pictures have a little license icon at the bottom. Unfortunately, some of the older images (like this one) were loaded before we required a license assertion for each one.
If you are loading many images at once, I would imagine that your application would require some other MQL usage anyway just to find them.

benjamin, here are two queries I threw together yesterday which might help you.
The first one gets a bunch of topics and any images associated with them, then tells you the license those images are under:
[
{
"/common/topic/image" : [
{
"/common/licensed_object/license" : [],
"id" : null,
"name" : null
}
],
"id" : null,
"limit" : 20,
"name" : null,
"type" : "/people/person"
}
]
This second one is roughly the same, but excludes licenses of a certain type -- in this case Fair Use:[
{
"/common/topic/image" : [
{
"/common/licensed_object/license" : [
{
"id" : null,
"name" : null
}
],
"id" : null,
"name" : null,
"nofu:/common/licensed_object/license" : [
{
"id" : "/en/fair_use",
"optional" : "forbidden"
}
]
}
],
"id" : null,
"limit" : 20,
"name" : null,
"type" : "/people/person"
}
]

Cris,
we need the "Concert Hall" Type and a list of concert halls, please. There are practically hundreds of them in the world
-
Take a look at Micah’s draft Performance Venue type and Robert’s draft Performance venue as well. A concert hall is a kind of performance venue; what additional properties would it need that these Performance venue types don’t have?
-
I am not thinking of any new properties, I only need the list at the moment
-
Ok, thank you

I used to play D/Generation on the Amiga 500 I think and also PC version ? Never got past level 16, damn droids! I wonder if Danny ever got that far ? hahaha. I was part of the Cracking Group for it as well, back in the day. (I did buy a personal copy, however!) My how times change for us, eh ? Here we are building Freebase together...
-
I never actually saw the Amiga version. I have a hilarious cracking story for the Commodore 64 version of Karateka -- I spent about a week putting in really nasty protections that probably bought me 3 weeks of additional protection. I am glad that we've entered the era of openness. Glad we're both here doing this now.

robert,
Could you please fix software category and remove protocol from general software? It looks like communication software should be used for this.-
Mike -- I'm not sure which types you're talking about.
-
I believe he's talking about /computer/software
http://www.freebase.com/view/schema?id=%2Fcomputer%2Fsoftware
I looked at it and I am not sure what the purpose of both the protocol fields in that type is. I can sort of understand that a large number of software applications (except purely desktop applications with no auto-update like feature) do communicate with external applications and machines in some way, however in a lot of cases IMO its not quite proper to categorize non-communications software with communications software.

Hi Robert,
Is there any chance of performing a "Scientific Classification" infobox load in the near future? This would cover a massive area of data which is largely overlooked at present. I am planning a tool to browse through the Plant Kingdom. I'm sure others would find the data really useful too.
An example of the infobox can be seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lily
Kind regards,
// Frank-
Frank - We're putting some very deep thought into how to model species taxonomies. Wikipedia infoboxes do a pretty good job, but may not hold up well for the many purposes they might be used.
JG is working on this now and I'm not sure of the ETA. We would love to help you build a browser tool. I'll rope him into this conversation. -
Frank,
Yes, we plan to type 300,000+ items including all the wikipedia plants soon.
There is some debate about whether to start with ITIS or NIH Taxo etc.
It will be resolved in 1-2 weeks and the data should be available then.
-
Thanks Robert and Jg, I'm so very pleased to here this. I definitely understand that adding this data is not a trivial matter and appreciate all the hard work you guys are doing.
I'll keep a lookout for the new items and brush up on my MQL skills.

Hello, just learning how to add things here.
I want to create a top level type within Finance, an area you administer. The proposed type is "Index" (or Sector, or both), to hold the typical financial groups of companies (SP500 etc). It was not clear to me how to create something at that level (lower down is easy enough).
