When I performed this test I had the option to use "Type" to filter the collection of Entities associated with the pattern. That single step enabled me to select "yago:BirdsOfNewZealand" and then simply ask for a display of associated Entities. I am particulary interested in your searches re. "New Zealand" (past and present) as I am not convinced your initial experience with our service truly revealed what it offered (e.g., you could even seem to find much about the country: "New Zealand"). The essence of what we offer is the ability to accurately "Find" descriptions of Entities using Type and Properties across a huge corpus of interlinked data. -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen President & CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com
