Some of you may be interesting in this WikiMining Java API: http://www.ukp.tu-darmstadt.de/software/JWPL. JWPL is the acronym for Java WikiPedia Library.

The license isn't open source. But, it is available at no charge for non-commercial use in research. It's from an academic project in Germany.

From the download page:

"Lately, Wikipedia has been recognized as a promising lexical semantic resource. If Wikipedia is to be used for large-scale NLP tasks, efficient programmatic access to the knowledge therein is required.

JWPL (Java Wikipedia Library) is a free, Java-based application programming interface that allows to access all information contained in Wikipedia.

The high-performance Wikipedia API provides structured access to information nuggets like redirects, categories, articles and link structure. It is described in our LREC 2008 (http://elara.tk.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/publications/2008/lrec08_camera_ready.pdf paper.

JWPL now contains a Mediawiki Markup parser that can be used to further analyze the contents of a Wikipedia page. The parser can also be used stand-alone with other texts using MediaWiki markup."

Cheers,

Brad
