If you are a movie fan, you might have noticed that The Wall Street Journal recently joined the Freebase developer community, integrating Freebase content into film reviews on WSJ.com.

Most noticeably, each review now features a widget on the right-hand side (called “Films Mentioned In This Article”) that provides the reader with useful information about all of the films that are reviewed on that page. It includes the film name, image, director, and cast, along with links to useful third party sites like Netflix and Rotten Tomatoes, and links to related film reviews on WSJ.com:

All of this is powered by the free data, images, relationships, and third party identifiers stored in Freebase.

At the top of this widget, there is also a search box powered by Freebase Suggest. This allows visitors to WSJ.com to easily search the WSJ film review archives and discover similar films they might not have known about. Because the search box uses Freebase Suggest, it takes advantage of our handy autocomplete feature, shows previews of each entry, and limits the results set specifically to films that appear in the WSJ index. Pretty cool!

Behind the scenes, the app users other publisher-friendly features, like an editorial tool that allows the WSJ team to review all changes made to the data before it goes live on WSJ.com.

We’re excited to see open data from Freebase being integrated into more sites across the Web and to have sites like the Wall Street Journal contributing back to Freebase. If you are interested in having similar content integrated into your site, please let us know! It’s all powered by Acre and Freebase Suggest, so the same tools can be cloned and reused anywhere else on the Web.
