Hello, my name is Sebastian from AKSW, Uni Leipzig.
I'm currently working on extending the DBpedia Framework software to
convert Wiktionary (all languages) to RDF.
If you are interested please join the mailing list here:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dbpedia-wiktionary
Below is an announcement, which might be relevant, as it provides new
ways of finding content and creating structure in Wikipedia.
There is a mockup
http://aksw.org/Projects/NKE#Mockups on how it could
be integrated into Wikipedia and also a Web demo:

Regards,
Sebastian

Dear Colleagues,
over the last year, we have worked on a methodology called Navigational
Knowledge Engineering - in short NKE.
We have amounted a good deal of documents, a web demo (HANNE) , source
code and images, which we publish and link to on this page:
http://aksw.org/Projects/NKE
Summary:
NKE is a light-weight methodology for low-cost knowledge engineering by
a massive user base. Although structured data is becoming widely
available, no other methodology – to the best of our knowledge – is
currently able to scale up and provide light-weight knowledge
engineering for a massive user base. Using NKE, data providers can
publish flat data on the Web without extensively engineering structure
upfront, but rather observe how structure is created on the fly by
interested users, who navigate the knowledge base and at the same time
also benefit from using it. The vision of NKE is to produce ontologies
as a result of users navigating through a system. This way, NKE reduces
the costs for creating expressive knowledge by disguising it as navigation.
We would also like to steer your attention to the Web Demo [2], the
Tutorial slides for the Web demo [3] and two mockups[4], which visualize
how the methodology could be integrated into Wikipedia and
Amazon.com .
As we believe that the methodology is quite novel (please tell us in
case you know something similar), we are still discussing all possible
applications and implications. In particular, we are searching for
suggestions, where to integrate and test our methodology next. Please
feel free to contact us.
Regards,
Sebastian Hellmann, Jens Lehmann, Jörg Unbehauen, Claus Stadler and
