OpenCyc 4.0 has 239,000 terms and 2,093,000 triples according to
http://www.cyc.com/platform/opencyc
ReserachCyc has 500,000 concepts and 5,000,000 assertions. Each
assertion, expressed as a triple encoding 3 concepts at log(500,000) =
19 bits each would be 300M bits. Assuming a Zipf or power law
distribution over the concepts would probably allow the database to be
compressed to 150M bits.

The genome of E. Coli is 4M base pairs or 8M bits assuming no
compression (it compresses poorly).
