Sorry for long time without response. I had some really exhausting
days, and I couldn't find time, to get my thoughts together. But from
now on, my response time will be much more acceptable. :)

I see it was some discussion going on about DBPedia and OmegaWiki. I
think I was a bit overexcited about data from DBPedia when I wrote
that OmegaWiki wouldn't bring much information. I think that it would
be a great thing to retrieve more content from Wiktionary with use of
DBPedia, so it could be a usefull for Apertium and as well be part of
Linked Data, but also I spent some time to know more about OmegaWiki.
It looks very suitable for generation of dictionaries to Apertium.
Morphological features of words are easily accessible in language
neutral way and it uses large variety of languages.
Also I took a look into apertium-dixtools code responsible for
extraction of data from OmegaWiki. Haven't yet tested it, but if
OmegaWiki doesn't changed data format to much in the past time it
still should be usefull without making changes.

So I thought that I could use this dixtools to retrive data from
OmegaWiki (it should be possible almost instantaneously) then I could
work on improving DBPedia extraction framework to retrieve more data
from Wiktionary in language neutral way.
Later I could compare dictionaries created in both methods, find if
some of data are complementary and, if so, integrate them to create
more sophisticated dictionary.
What do You think about this approach?
