Hello,
I am new to Mediawiki and I'm wondering if it can be used for question answering. For example, retrieve an xml file with the answer to "Who is Barack Obama?".
Thanks! Marelia

MediaWiki does not handle natural language queries like your example out of the box. It will always depend a little on the richness of your data what questions you can answer, but to be able to retrieve something that requires some processing, you might need to look into Semantic MediaWiki.
Good luck! -Courtney
