A week ago, Freebase announced that its rich dataset is now available as Linked Data. Congratulations, Metaweb! So it is finally the time to welcome Freebase to the Linked Data Cloud.
But wait, isn’t Linked Data about… linking data? Unfortunately, while Freebase now does export RDF, its concepts aren’t linked to other datasets in “the cloud“. No problem, we at DBpedia can help out.
So I’m glad to announce that 2.5 Million DBpedia resources are now interlinked with Freebase via owl:sameas links!

You can grab a dump here.
So all your concepts which are interlinked with DBpedia can from now on also benefit from the data in Freebase.
And the Semantic Web continues to grow…
