This is really very nice! I'm not sure such general interfaces will ever work for all mainstream Web users, but there is a huge audience approximated by "MS Access users" for whom this should be a good fit. What it does remind me of (conceptually not visually), is the design behind http://mqlx.com/~david/parallax/ in which you navigate through sets of things rather than individuals. I wonder if you could explore the same example 'query' in both this and Parallax (whether using DBPedia data or Freebase data...). cheers, Dan -- http://danbri.org/
