World Bank data in Google

Today Google started including 17 World Bank world development indicators in its standard search results. Relevant search queries, like one above, not only present the World Bank data, but also present graphs of the data.

This seems to simply be the result of the World Bank making their data available through a public API, and Google being smart enough to take advantage of it.

You can read a Google blog post on the integration here. Major kudos to the World Bank and Google for pulling this off. Now we just need to get the other 800 indicators (and data from other government-funded organizations) online.
