Re: more grammatical information in the extraction framework

The DBpedia Wiktionary parser does not have a special use case. It aims 
for flexibility.
The parser can be configured by anyone to fit their use case.  It is 
also not limited to Wiktionary, we intend to parse other Wikis such as 
http://wikihow.com orhttp://wikitravel.org as well

DBpedia Wiktionary follows several visions:
1. if it is possible to get the data that you have put into Wiktionary 
out again, Wiktionary will be strengthened as a central resource.
2. Efforts to extract data from Wiktionary can be focused into one 
collaborative project. Therefore not everybody has to write his/her own 
parser.
3. DBpedia Wiktionary has the potential to become a major hub  of: 
http://linguistics.okfn.org/resources/llod/ as DBpedia is the central 
hub of http://richard.cyganiak.de/2007/10/lod/

It will need some more work to improve the config files step by step for 
each language, but it is not unrealistic. During the next week, we will 
add dumps for several more languages. We will migrate the config files 
somewhere user-friendly. So people who want to get data, will have no 
need to download and install software and know mercurial or Scala.
