YAGO2s is a huge semantic knowledge base, derived from Wikipedia WordNet and GeoNames. Currently, YAGO2s has knowledge of more than 10 million entities (like persons, organizations, cities, etc.) and contains more than 120 million facts about these entities.

Found most of the words which DBPedia was unable to provide answers. In DBPedia 'java' and 'Java' are treated as different entities which is not in case of Wikidata.
