:BaseKB Now is produced from the Freebase RDF Dump. Now is refreshingly compatible with RDF standard tools because it removes invalid, unnecessary and dangerous facts. Other than replacing fbase:type.object.type with rdf:type, :BaseKB Now leaves Freebase vocabulary intact.

A product of the open-source Infovore framework, :BaseKB Now is ready for commercial and academic use under the same CC-BY license as Freebase.

:BaseKB Now is published on a weekly basis by an automated process. Most releases are published as requester pays, which means that you pay the transfer costs (12 cents per gigabyte, about $3.00 for a complete dump.) Transfer costs are zero if you are working inside the us-east-1 zone in Amazon Web Services.
