Powerset

Powerset is a semantic search engine scanning Wikipedia and open database site, Freebase. The company created an iPhone version of its site in May after execs realized that a third of its employees owned iPhones, and they wanted a simpler, faster version of the site for mobile browsing. Powerset allows users to type in questions such as, "Who won the NBA Championship in 2008?" Linguistic technology parses every sentence in a Wikipedia or Freebase entry and provides condensed, text-based results with links on key search words to the full entries for further clarification.
