Just a few corrections to the historical dates given by Tom.

/ WikiData is a great project, but this progress has been building,
/>/ excrutiatingly slowly, over decades. One could even make the argument that />/ WikiData is the result of Knowledge Graph and its antecedents rather than />/ the other way around. />/ // /Wikidata is influenced by RDF (1999), OWL (2004), Semantic MediaWiki (2005), Freebase (2006), DBpedia (2007), Semantic Forms (2007), and many many other technologies that are less visible or don't have such a strong brand (and Michael is very aware of that history, he's been around years before working on the technologies these are based on).
I understand Michael's question to be much more concrete: does the progress in Wikidata has anything to do with the changes in the Knowledge Graph's visibility in Google's searches that happened last month?
Correct, my question was about, whether data from WikiData has made it into the Knowledge Graph and now becomes visible to users.
And it only occurs to me now: Denny, did you join Google, yet? Maybe on July 19th? ;)
cu, michael
