On March 26th, 2010 we revealed a few screencasts of the new data manipulation project we were working on:
Freebase Gridworks 1.0 beta Overview from David Huynh on Vimeo.
At that time, we announced that we would be releasing it in a month as open source. We apologize for taking 2 weeks longer than expected, but today we’re happy announce the immediate availability of Freebase Gridworks 1.0!
So, without further ado, point your browsers to
where you’ll find downloadable binaries for Windows, MacOSX and Linux (which should probably work in any Unix flavor), the source code (which includes the entire version control history extracted from our internal code repository), some reasonable although not yet complete documentation and, last but not least, a link to the Google Group that you should subscribe to if you’re interested in following Gridworks development or exchange ideas, ask questions, find solutions to problems or even just to exchange data cleansing recipes.
Happy data cleanup with Freebase Gridworks and see you there!

Oh thank god. I’m finishing up some cleanup of public employee data acquired through OCR and I was considering an email unfairly complaining that this was late.
Thanks!

Thank you! I’m looking forward to trying this tool out. Great job and thanks for releasing it as open source.
