Hey guys,
I thought you might find this article interesting. It gives more detail on how google is constructing/implementing their knowledge graph:
Unfortunately, they don't say much about the technology they use...

I chatted with Metaweb's Jamie Taylor about their database in spring
2009. At the time (and I would imagine, to this day), Freebase used a
in-house database which was based on transaction logging. One of the
neat things about it is that you could quickly obtain a view of the
database at any moment in its history (much like datomic). As of a
couple of years ago (I haven't checked recently), you could still
request big dumps of transactional data through their API, so you
could analyze how the graph was built up over time by a large number
of users.

Hi,

1. Thousand of users building Wikipedia
2. DBpedia triplifying Wikipedia infoboxes
3. Freebase importing DBpedia datasets
4. Thousand of users improving Freebase
Freebase is a giant knowledge graph built by the community of users, acquired by Google.
