Hi Moutupsi,
there are actually some problems, that can be better solved by a
community than by software alone. It took quite some efforts and three
years, but we are very close to really start now.
Since two days, we have a working minimal example for the Wiktionary2RDF
subproject of DBpedia, so the community can really pick it up now.
Main docu is here:
http://dbpedia.org/Wiktionary
Now that the software and the linked data and sparql hosting are
working, we will try to find maintainers for each language. DBpedia
already has a vast network for this:
http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Internationalization
I think there will be configs + data for these languages quite soon: ko,
sr, el, es with many more to follow. You are welcome to join in, try to
produce the data you need and give back your results to the community.
There are two views on the software, one for people who just want to use
it and create configs:
https://github.com/dbpedia/dbpedia-wiktionary
and for Scala/Java developers:
https://github.com/dbpedia/extraction-framework/tree/master/wiktionary
Data can be found here:
http://downloads.dbpedia.org/wiktionary/dumps/
I will write a blog post announcing this soon.
All the best,
Sebastian

Hi All,
Greeting,
I am a CS grad student from Data Science Lab Stony
Brook<https://sites.google.com/site/datascienceslab/> and I am dropping this mail to
request information about parsing multi-lingual Wiktionary data. Our lab has been using
Wikipedia data for quite a while now but we are really interested in taking advantage of
the massive Wiktionary content which we feel , after proper parsing, can become an rich
muti-language corpus.
But the big hurdle is a parsing tool. We have tried a few Wiktionary parsing tools
1.
https://github.com/clbecker/perl-wiktionary-parser/
2.
https://code.google.com/p/wikokit/wiki/GettingStartedWiktionaryParser
3.
https://github.com/benreynwar/wiktionary-parser/tree/master/wiktionary_pars…
4.
http://www.ukp.tu-darmstadt.de/software/jwktl/
but none of them are available in a ready-to-use or easy-to-extend in multiple language
mode. (I am currently trying to work with wikokit (parser 2 above) )
I request for some advice, suggestion or redirection towards best available Wiktionary
parser. We are mainly looking to extract meanings, POS, examples, translations etc. (more
can never hurt).
Any help is appreciated. Kindly let know if further information is needed.
Regards,
Moutupsi
