Take a look at

http://ookaboo.com/

we use Freebase and Dbpedia as inputs,  but once we've established the 
existence of topics we IX wikipedia directly to extract image links and 
metadata.

Unfortunately things related to creative works are weakly represented in 
Ookaboo because Ookaboo has a different copyright policy than 
wikipedia.  In particular,  we don't accept the "fair use" concept so we 
only include images that are public domain or creative commons.  We 
stopped importing images from wikipedia last month because we moved the 
system over to Amazon S3 and made a number of performance and 
scalability related changes,  but we just started the image loading 
again last week...  The acquisition of images is limited by how fast we 
can pull them out of Wikimedia Commons,  and my guess is that we've got 
enough images to load for another month before we have to go and fix 
recall problems with the IX system...  I think recall can be improved by 
another 50% or so.
