Person (/people/person)


Type Definition

A person is a human being (man, woman or child) known to have actually existed. Living persons, celebrities and politicians are persons, as are deceased persons.

Note: A person topic is distinct from a user in Metaweb. Users have profiles that can only be edited by the users themselves. A person topic can be edited by anyone and is intended as a factual representation of details about a person.

Edge Cases

  • For some topics in Freebase, it can be difficult to tell if the person really existed or not. For example, there are a number of topics in Freebase (from Wikipedia pages) referring to ancient Chinese characters (e.g. Qin Mi, Chen Heng, Bao Xin). How to type these is currently being discussed.
