SemanticWiki would be a key feature in making

Parsing the plain text articles can only provide very limited data for
answering such questions.
Infoboxes and so forth are very popular on en:wp -
Google already uses
{{coord}} like this, but the other infoboxes are a pretty good source
of this sort of parseable data. Note that infoboxes are not entirely
consistent as yet.
It would be very nice if we could move towards making them usable in this
fashion. The {{PERSONDATA}} template does not seem to be used as widely as
it could be: it would be nice if it were possible to incorporate this into
an appropriate infobox to avoid needless duplication and possible
contradiction.
