The structure of the Google Knowledge Graph ID
What do Google KG IDs look like and what do they encode?
The Google Knowledge Graph is a large knowledge base containing facts about people, places, books, and other kinds of entities. Some examples of Google Knowledge Graph entities include:
/m/0dl567— Taylor Swift/m/02_286— New York City/m/030q7— FIFA World Cup/m/045c7b— Google/g/11j48g0yyn—The Matrix Resurrections
Every entity in the Google Knowledge Graph has a unique ID, also known as an MID which stands for "machine identifier". These IDs have the same format and all begin with either /m/0 or /g/1 followed by the base-32 representation of an auto-incrementing numeric ID.
