It seems like a lot of people are moving into the space to be the provider for creating structured data. I haven't seen any applications that are building a knowledge graph like Google for other to build applications on top of. Google turned theirs into a "knowledge vault" in order to build their own applications on top of it. It seems like it would be a good space to do what Google is doing but open it up for other to build apps.

Thanks for the response. Very informative.

FWIW, the reason I'm familiar with the "stack" mentioned above is exactly because we're working on something like that. Our focus is more in internal knowledge than the general web, but there's no reason that overall methodology couldn't be applied more widely (although making it all scale is a technical challenge to be sure!). I could see us offering a "knowledge graph API" service of some sort down the road, depending on how other initiatives shake out.
