Yes - this should definitely be possible. It isn't a complex design. However,
you might want to rework the conceptual data structures to be a little less
"database-like", and more "semantic-web-like".
From your design, I'd do the following:
Category: Material
Property: Density (range: floating-point number)
Property: Boiling Point (range: integer)
Property: Melting Point (range: integer)
Property: Specific Heat (range: integer)
Property: Tensile Strength (range: integer)
Property: Material Type (range: enumerated type [metal, non-metal, fluid])
Then you could create a Material template that put the different properties
into an InfoBox, and assigned the values to the properties. Then to create the
Material table, you'd have another page - a concept page - with something like
the following query:
{{#ask:[[Category:Material]]
|?density
|?Boiling Point
...
}}
To list all the current Boiling Point values, you'd simply go to the
Property:Boiling Point page. That should list all the Material - value pairs.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion, I read about Semantic MediaWiki. It's a
marvellous extension but I have one query which I couldn't figure out. I have
some compulsion to store the data in the database design [1]. Is it possible to
store data in this database design using Semantic MediaWiki?
