Google: Knowledge Graph

The Google Knowledge Graph is a system that Google launched in May 2012 that understands facts about people, places and things and how these entities are all connected. Google Launches Knowledge Graph To Provide Answers, Not Just Links is our introductory article about the system from when it launched.
Google’s Knowledge Graph is used both behind-the-scenes to help Google improve its search relevancy and also to present Knowledge Graph boxes, at times, within its search results that provide direct answers.
