Freebase is an open database of the world’s information. It is built by the community and for the community—free for anyone to query, contribute to, build applications on top of, or integrate into their websites.

What makes Freebase unique is that it spans domains—but requires that a particular topic exist only once in Freebase, even if it might normally be found in multiple databases. For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger would appear in a movie database as an actor, a political database as a governor and a bodybuilder database as a Mr. Universe. In Freebase, there is only one topic for Arnold Schwarzenegger, with all three facets of his public persona brought together. The unified topic acts as an information hub, making it easy to find and contribute information about him.

Here are three good reasons to contribute to Freebase:

1. You’ve got a bunch of data that you’d like to share with the world. Freebase gives you a place to do it. A related benefit: once your data is in Freebase, you or anyone else can run MQL (Metaweb Query Language) queries against it.
2. You’ve got a bunch of data that you’d like to share, and said data would benefit from the knowledge and refinement efforts of other people. Freebase gives you a place to share it and others a place to improve it.
3. You don’t have data, but you’re an authority on something, and you like sharing your expertise. Freebase lets you dive into the details and improve or add to existing data.
