Google Launches Knowledge Graph

Google is rolling out its new Knowledge Graph, which provides fact boxes with extra data and information alongside its query results. The new information comes from Google’s new database of 500 million people, places, and things. Knowledge Graph also gives users the ability to narrow the search to the most relevant topics. Product Management Director of Search Jack Menzel said, “We would like to be able to model everything. Anything to get you to the information that solves your task as fast as we can. We want to guide you through your query a bit like a map.”
