I didn't think of using prefixes for matching multiple types. Thanks! Hi Daniel, great tip. I didn’t think of using prefixes for matching multiple types. Thanks!

{
"query":[{
"date_of_birth":null,
"date_of_birth<":"1974",
"date_of_birth>=":"1970",
"name":null,
"place_of_birth":"Ghent",
"type":"/people/person",
"a:type":"/tv/tv_actor",
}]
}

I learned something new today! :-) I've received my invitation this night and I'm playing with it and organizing some data and doing some queries. I already found some inconsistencies which I'm addressing (A series has episodes instead of episode, and such) You are indeed correct, the data isn't there yet, but then again there are only 2,180 users at the moment. Once freebase launches / takes in more users, the data will be ordered a lot faster. I have big hopes for Freebase, and thanks to you I'm now an 'early adopter' ;-) :-D
