Hi folks!

 We have released WikiXMLDB, where we have parsed Wikipedia into a true XML 
format and put it online into
Sedna XML Database. You can write XQueries against the whole Wikipedia now: 
http://wikixmldb.dyndns.org/. 
There are some clear advantages of preserving (actually converting the 
media-wiki there first) the XML markup - you can 
pick out individual sections, extract data from there, etc. Of course XQuery is 
not that great at lots of outerjoins and any 
OWL stuff, so maybe there is a winning hybrid approach towards the whole deal.

 Also, if you find cool use-cases or ideas that rely on the XML representation 
of Wikipedia, please let us know!

Best regards,
Pavel Velikhov
Sedna team
