Score One For Explicit Semantics

Powerset, the most hyped 'Semantic Search' engine of recent times (e.g. here, here and here), can now finally be tried out by us mere mortals here: http://www.powerset.com/ (only searches Wikipedia and Freebase so far).

The interesting thing is that while Powerset has always focused on their know-how in natural language processing and entity recognition (that 'other kind of semantic'), the top results for almost all queries I tried (e.g. 'China size', 'Rudi Studer', 'Germany Population') are sourced from freebase - score one for (collaboratively evolved) explicit semantics, I' ld say ;)
