Freebase Type Provider

Question

We keep seeing Don's great presentation of type providers, using it to access Freebase.com.

Are there any plans to make this type provider available outside Microsoft? Undoubtedly as a sample, but preferably with source.

Answer 1

I believe samples from this presenation were published here as an attachment:

Also you could take a look at F# 3.0 samples pack:

Answer 2

I looked at the Demo Scripts file, and it (as the .aspx page implies), it contains only entries for Twitter, NetFlix, etc. But I don't see Freebase in there. Maybe I'll get a chance to look at it in more detail later.

And the fsharp3sapmple from Codeplex doesn't seem to do much better.

So thanks for the suggestions, but it doesn't look like they solved the problem. I appreciate the effort, though.
