Aren't the dbpedia template parameter mappings available in machine readable
form somewhere? I mean, dbpedia is *using* them for extracting information
somehow, right?

Dimitris, can you enlighten us?

The framework has it's own MW parser and the design choice when the wiki was implemented (very long time ago & before I got involved) was to use wiki markup as the native syntax.

To be honest it makes sense. This what the users use to define mappings, we can easily parse it and there is no need for another intermediate format

However we are working on an RDF representation of the mappings that people will be able to get from our mapping server api. But this will be like an export functionality, the native syntax will still be the wiki markup.
