Imdb Database Dump Files
I run IMDbAPI.com and have been using Bing's Search API for finding IMDb ID's from title searches. Bing is currently changing their API over to the Azure Marketplace (August 1st) and is no longer available for free. I started testing my API using Freebase to resolve these ID's and hit their 100k limit in the first 8 hours (my site currently gets about 3 million requests a day, but only 200-300k are title searches) This is exactly why they offer the data dump files, I downloaded most of the files in the Film folder but cannot find where they are storing the '/authority/imdb/title' imdb id namespace data. This is how I'm currently accessing the ID. Does anyone know which file contains this information? And how to link back to it from the film title/id? That imdbid property is backed by a key in the /authority/imdb/title namespace, so you're looking for the line: /m/015gxt /type/object/key /authority/imdb/title tt0065126 in the file That's a 4 GB file, so be prepared to wait a little while for the download.
Note that everything is keyed by MID, so you'll need to figure that out first if you don't have it in your database. The equivalent query using MQL instead of the data dumps is EDIT: p.s. I'm pretty sure the files in the Browse directory are going away, so I wouldn't depend on them even if you could find the info there.

IMDB extractor transforms data files into a topic map browsable with Wandora. Extractor has been created for demonstration purposes only. Wandora does not contain any IMDB data files. Also, be aware that Wandora or Wandora authors have no rights to give you any permission to use IMDB data. If you plan to use IMDB topic maps beyond personal usage, you should contact. You may download IMDB datafiles from.
As datafiles are extremely large you can't extract data to but have to use. Wandora does not transfer all IMDB files. Current extractor transfers only. actors. actresses. keywords. countries.
language. locations. genres. movies. biographies.
producers. directors. plot summaries.
running times. release dates To prepare the extraction download all required data files and unpack them to your local file system.
Then create a database topic map and start extractor with File Extract Media IMDB Extractor. Wandora requests a folder containing IMDB data files or a single data file and starts the extraction after successful data file or folder identification. IMDB data files are very large and you should be patient as the extraction may take a while. Below is a screenshot of Wandora viewing associations of movie Dr. Notice the layer structure. Each IMDB datafile has been extracted to a separate database topic map.
Contents. Step by step example of extracting IMDB with Wandora This chapter is a step by step tutorial showing you how to use IMDB extractor and database topic maps. Tutorial extractions were made in a Ubuntu Linux 8.1 running on top of (running on top of Windows XP). Next screen shot views system properties of the Ubuntu Linux used for IMDB extractions. Notice the memory amount given for the Linux.
We gave the Ubuntu 1500 MB of memory. Our experiences suggest you should give Linux memory as much as possible. With small memory footprints the IMDB extraction fails after heavy swapping.
Now start Ubuntu Linux and log in. Setting up Wandora We prepare Wandora application next.
In Ubuntu. Download.
Start Linux shell with menu option Applications Accessories Terminal. Open Wandora's bin directory. Change execution rights of Wandora-huge.sh to allow execution.
Finally add Java's bin directory to the PATH environment variable. Here is how I did previous steps: akivela@virtual-ubuntu:/Desktop$ cd wandora/bin akivela@virtual-ubuntu:/Desktop/wandora/bin$ dir SetClasspath.bat Wandora.bat Wandora-large.bat Wandora-mini.sh SetClasspath.sh Wandora-huge.bat Wandora-large.sh Wandora.sh Wandora-4g.sh Wandora-huge.sh Wandora-mini.bat akivela@virtual-ubuntu:/Desktop/wandora/bin$ chmod a+x Wandora-huge.sh akivela@virtual-ubuntu:/Desktop/wandora/bin$ PATH=$PATH:/home/akivela/jre1.6.013/bin akivela@virtual-ubuntu:/Desktop/wandora/bin$ Now you are ready to start Wandora application in Linux. Write./Wandora-huge.sh in terminal and hit enter. Wandora application should start.
Setting up databases for IMDB topic maps As stated in the beginning of IMDB extractor documentation above, you need a database topic map to store extracted topic map as it is very large. To prepare database topic map start another terminal window in Ubuntu with option Applications Accessories Terminal. In terminal. Install MySQL server with command sudo apt-get install mysql-server. Log into the MySQL server with command mysql -user= -password=. Create empty databases with MySQL command create database; (notice ending semicolon) for next database names:.
Sql Database Dump
imdbactors. imdbactresses. imdbcountries. imdbgenres.
imdbmovies. Prepare each created database with Wandora specific database table structures in wandora/build/resources/conf/database/dbmysql.sql. In detail:. Select database with MySQL command use;, for example use imdbactors; (notice ending semicolon). Read database table creation clauses from external file with MySQL command source wandora/build/resources/conf/database/dbmysql.sql; (notice ending semicolon).
Notice that you may have to change the path of dbmysql.sql depending on you Wandora installation directory and your current directory. Below is my terminal capture of previous steps.
After these steps I have six empty in local MySQL and I am ready for actual IMDB extractions. Akivela@virtual-ubuntu:$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server Reading package lists.

Akivela@virtual-ubuntu:$ mysql -user=root -password=mypass Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with; or g. Your MySQL connection id is 2 Server version: 5.0.67-0ubuntu6 (Ubuntu) Type 'help;' or ' h' for help. Type ' c' to clear the buffer.
Now click OK button and database configuration window closes reveling previous dialog window. Enter name for the layer, say imdbactors, keep the MySQL test database configuration selected, and click OK button. Wandora creates a new topic map layer and shows it left bottom corner of Wandora application window (see below).
Now select the created layer by clicking it. Selected layer is little darker than unselected. Now all 'write' operations go to the selected database topic map layer. If created layer is dark red, your new layer is broken.
Layer is broken when database connection fails for some reason. Check Wandora's terminal window for specific error message. I managed to break a layer couple of times by entering wrong user name and password for the database. Next we are going to start the IMDB extraction. Select menu option File Extract Media IMDB extract.
Wandora opens a Files/Urls/Raw selector. Keep the Files tab open and click Browse button. A file selector opens. Go to the directory you uncompressed IMDB data files and select actors.list (see below). To start extraction press Extract button. As IMDB data files are extremely large, it is not very surprising the extraction takes several hours. For example, extracting 9 million rows of actors.list took 6 hours in my virtual Ubuntu.
Extracted topic map contained little over 2 million topics and near 3 million associations. It is very important you to understand that trying to access such topic map in Wandora is extremely slow and causes OutOfMemory exceptions easily. As a thumb rule do not try to search anything that could generate a result set with millions of hits. Also, do not open association type topics, role topics, or class topics as they probably generate extremely large topic table structures Wandora can't handle. Now, to continue extracting other IMDB files, drop extracted layer imdbactors with menu option Layers Delete layer. Database topic map layer deletion doesn't touch the database content and you can open it again later on.
It's just more convenient to do the extraction when there are no other topic map layers disturbing. Now you should do all the steps described above to all other IMDB data files. You should extract each data file to it's own database topic map: actresses.list - imdbacresses movies.list - imdbmovies genres.list - imdbgenres countries.list - imdbcountries directors.list - imdbdirectors Merging IMDB database topic map layers Now you should have all IMDB data files extracted. Final step is to open all generated topic maps to Wandora as separate layers. In Wandora, for each database topic map. Select menu option Layers New layer. Change topic map type to Database.
Edit default settings of MySQL test as you did while preparing the extraction. Give unique name for the layer and hit OK. As a result, your Wandora should look something like below and you can continue accessing the merged IMDB topic.
Be careful, the layer stack is huge and you get easily OutOfMemory exceptions as said above:).
