You can pre-arm it to limit to certain types, and it's a pretty good wayt to
resolve an ID.

Server side:

JSON results.

Other queries:
Freebase works around "MQL", which is kind of like expressing the key /
value pairs you want to search for as a series of hashes/objects in
javascript/json, and using 'null' to say "SELECT * FROM table".

If you can think in SPARQL and write javascript, this is for you.
