It seems to me that they are using Freebase parsing results from Wikipedia. Freebase is yet another semantic web (interesting) company from Cambridge, England. But Why would Powerset use someone else parsing technology?

One of my favorite pages with Factz is the List of problems solved by MacGuyver (http://www.powerset.com/explore/semhtml/List_of_problems_solved_by_MacGyver). Check it out if you have a chance.
@Vitorino: The Freebase data you see in Powerset's search results are actually queried via Freebase's API after parsing on Powerset's side.
