Isn't that sort of information appropriate for Wikipedia?

Sure, some sort of more structured information may be useful, but that's 
true of many Wikipedia areas (mountains, biological species, chemical 
elements, etc.).  Currently that's handled by parameterized templates, 
but I can see WikiData being a future solution.
