Hello all,
is there a query language for wiki syntax?
(NOTE: I really do not mean the Wikipedia API here.)
I am looking for an easy way to scrape data from Wiki pages.
In this way, we could apply a crowd-sourcing approach to knowledge
extraction from Wikis.
There must be thousands of data scraping approaches. But is there one
amongst them that has developed a "wiki scraper language" ?
Maybe with some sort of fuzziness involved, if the pages are too messy.
I have not yet worked with the XML transformation of the wiki markup:
*action=expandtemplates **
generatexml - Generate XML parse tree
Is it any good for issueing XPATH queries ?
Thank you very much,
Sebastian
