+1001 for Wikidata

compare https://www.outpan.com/data?k=germany

to http://netbase.pannous.com/html/verbose/germany (wikidata mirror)

or https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?search=Germany

Netbase/pannous seems to be cool but I guess it still got some work to do as it's suggesting Bonn as capital of Germany, unless I'm misinterpreting the statements. Kind of weird result from Google when you search for: "bonn capital germany". For me, it displays the wiki summary of Berlin but the link goes to Bonn. Does it usually work like that?

Edit: It was the Bonn Summary of wikipedia

Bonn was the capital of Germany for many years.
