What is the Google Knowledge Graph?

If you search for a specific company, the Knowledge Graph will show an almost complete profile, depending on how well they did their SEO work. Searching for a recently released movie will show posters, reviews and screening times for your local cinema.
 
The term “Knowledge Graph” refers to prepared and compiled search results on certain topics and entities such as people or areas in the Google search and Facebook. Both companies differ, however, in the complexity and nature of their knowledge graph. The knowledge graph can be interpreted as another step on the way to a semantic search.
 
The Knowledge Graph is a knowledge base used by Google and its services to enhance its search engine's results with information gathered from a variety of sources. The information is presented to users in an infobox next to the search results.
 
The Knowledge Graph contains a wealth of information and data that Google uses to show users how facts, people and places are connected to each other and to deliver more focused and relevant search results.
