Perhaps this uses DBpedia (http://wiki.dbpedia.org/About)?

This is similar to the site Freebase (http://www.freebase.com/), which has a lot more data. Example node: India (http://www.freebase.com/m/03rk0).

This definitely is based on Wikipedia categories, which can be extracted from DBpedia.

I suspect it uses DBPedia too. Me like :) This could really be something useful, personally Wolfram Alpha is way too noisy information-wise for me to use.
