Google has begun to introduce "Knowledge Graph" to U.S. English users. It also will be available on mobile devices.
The Knowledge Graph allows users to search for things, people or places that Google knows about and then filters that information for relevance to a particular query. This is a critical first step towards building the next generation of search, which taps into the collective intelligence of the web and understands the world a bit more like people do.
Google’s Knowledge Graph builds on Freebase, Wikipedia and the CIA World Factbook but is augmented by facts Google already has amassed, as well as the relationships between these different objects. It also is tuned based on what people search for on the Web.
