Google Knowledge Graph

Suddenly, Google announced the launch of the project, which had been prepared in the depths of the Evil Empire for two years.
Having invented a catchy slogan for things not strings (things are not lines), we want to present something like an automatic encyclopedia.

In a few days, search results will display “banners” with brief summaries of data about the objects that Google associated with what you are looking for, and with related objects.
For example, when searching for the name of a famous person in the summary, you can see his photo and brief biographical data.

In addition, if the search query allows for many interpretations, you will be asked to clarify the scope of the query and after that the refined results will be displayed.
In the corporation, this system is called Google Knowledge Graph, and for its advertising they show videos about the connection between objects in the real world.

People working on the project believe that the search will give better results if the search engine will not just process the string data, but try to match it with objects from the database (I do not use the word "understand" intentionally here, although the authors constantly allow expressions like "It would be great if google could understand ..").
Among other things, the “knowledge graph” will form links based on what other users have already searched for and found on this topic.
At the moment, the "knowledge base" contains information on more than 500 million objects (people, places, etc.).
