Google Knowledge Graph Search API

For a second I thought this actually gave access to the graph, so you could actually traverse it a la 'see the edges, visit the nodes', which surely would have piqued my curiosity. This doesn't seem to offer much more over HN user/DuckDuckGo operator Gabriel's API[1]. I have a console app I've written that queries WolframAlpha and DDG. Between the two, > 90% of my 'fast questions' get answered (with the added bonus of a decent privacy policy).

I used Knowledge Graph when I was a contractor at Google. Graph queries are not cheap, entity lookups should be inexpensive.

I am very happy that Google opened up this API. I used to use Freebase, and I use DBPedia a lot. When I get home from traveling I am looking forward to kicking the tires of the new API.

And it would be even better if Google would be required to provide full data dumps for download, like Freebase did before Google annexed them.

It would be interesting to see if one could start with (say) the OpenCyc ontology, and expand it using this or the DDG search.

Talking about Cyc ontology, we are working on automatic Wikipedia articles classification: http://cycloped.io/
