I have looked at ckan, yes. It is not for hosting triples of data, it
is for hosting information about the data.

I would like to have the data of wikipedia and be able to merge
it/query it with geographic data. I am looking forward to having large
wikimedia hosted servers that are usable. I have long dreamed about a
real semantic web and this looks like it will be getting close. I dont
have the HW resources to process this large amount of data.

I started with a large number of articles on geographic points, on
cities and towns of kosovo.
Sources are GNS which are used for many articles. I have scripts to
convert them to wikipedia templates, we can also convert them to rdf.
All my data is CC-by-sa compatible and should not be a problem.

Well I am wiling to do this right.

The things that are interesting are  :
GNS/GEOnames places and things, they are notable and large enough. We
need to make sure that they are all in wikipedia.
This will be useful just for looking for names, i hope that we can get
all the name variants into the database and make them usable.
