Hi Amulya,
here is my educated guess: Yes, there are quite a few structure, which you can extract with the DBpedia framework. You will get infoboxes and some other data. It is definitely worth to try it.

We are currently working on extensions for other Wikis, especially converting Wiktionary to RDF with a generic extractor.
Please look here:
http://dbpedia.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/dbpedia/extraction_framework/file/f4da35d167ce/wiktionary/config-en.xml
http://dbpedia.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/dbpedia/extraction_framework/file/f4da35d167ce/wiktionary/config-de.xml

These are xml configurations for the German and the English Wiktionary.

I also cc'ed Jonas who develops the plugin.
We would be happy to provide downloads for the data you produce ....

Tell me if you need sourceforge access to branch the mercurial repo.
All the best,
Sebastian

Hi all,

Inspired by what dbpedia does with wikipedia, I wanted to try creating a
similar dataset for wikitravel.org. Before going through how dbpedia does
the same for wikipedia, I wanted to know if the solution used by dbpedia
could be easily transferrable to this project or a completely fresh
approach should be used. Looks like the dataset created for this would be
much smaller than for dbpedia, thus I want to make sure I use the right
approach. All opinions and inputs are highly appreciated.

Thanks,
~Amulya
