Here’s another piece of movement news that seems worth spreading in social media:

Google just announced plans to wind down its Freebase service and to transfer the Freebase data in to Wikidata in mid-2015.

This may sound a bid geeky, but it’s a big deal because it shows wide adoption of our open source structured data format by an industry giant.

t: Goodbye Freebase, hello Wikidata! Kudos to everyone at @wikidata for this great achievement ! 

I tweeted it here, if you want to simply retweet:
