How familiar are you with Semantic Web technologies? You can get this information by performing a SPARQL query at http://dbpedia.org/sparql. I would build the query by selecting instances of dbpedia-owl:Country (http://dbpedia.org/ontology/Country) and then pick the properties you want: select * where { ?country a dbpedia-owl:Country . ?country dbpedia-owl:areaMetro ?area } The difficult part is to make the query as complete as possible, in particular if the property you are looking for is not in the DBpedia ontology (i.e. its URI is starting with http://dbpedia.org/ontology/). In that case you need to query for several properties and use OPTIONAL patterns in your query.
