There are several things you can do with Freebase:
First, you can browse topics and search for information. If you’re looking for something specific, use the search and filter view features. Almost every fact in Freebase is a link to more information, so there's a lot to explore and discover.
When you're looking at topics, you can also add and edit information. See a blank space? Fill it in! See a mistake? Correct it! All it takes is the click of an edit button next to the fact you want to correct or the field you want to fill in.
After you've had a chance to see what's in Freebase, you can add your own topics, or create collections of topics that you can share, and develop, with others. You can even contribute large sets of information that you've created, like lists of authors or motorcycle parts, comic book characters or buildings designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. If you've got a really large collection of information you want to contribute, contact us for help with a bulk upload.
You can also contribute new schemas for organizing information and creating relationships among facts. Schema building is also known as data modeling, and we’ve written up some guidelines for tackling it in Freebase.
Finally, you can build applications that use Freebase information. We've got a list of current Freebase applications that might inspire you, a guide to using the MQL query language in your applications, and tools like API services, the Acre hosted application environment, and the mjt templating language for client-side applications to get you started.
