Metaweb

Metaweb Technologies, Inc. was a San Francisco-based company that developed Freebase, described as an "open, shared database of the world's knowledge". The company was founded by Robert Cook and Danny Hillis in 2005.

Metaweb was acquired by Google in 2010. Google shut down Freebase in 2016, transferring all its data to Wikidata.
