Hoi,
As discussed in [[The need for XML re: wiktionary]] and [[Tables for
Wiktionary]] on Meta and the wiktionary mailinglist, it is necessary to
structure the wiktionary content in order to be able to share the
content of wiktionary. The complexity of doing this is huge. Not only do
we need to describe all kinds of data to be able to include this in our
database. We have to watch and make it not too difficult for a would be
contributor. We also have to produce XML or something like it to publish
our content.
To do all this in one go is a bit much. So I propose to do something
that is simpler first. We may use the GEMET data for inclusion within
Wikimedia. This is a rich and important body of knowledge and we can use
it not only in wiktionary but also in wikispecies. We have been given
the SQL stuff from the GEMET relational database. So we can change this
to fit Wikimedia. GEMET has its own XML definition.
We have therefore these important components:
*We have a SQL definition to fit the data
*We have the complete data from the GEMET available in XML format
*It provides a subset of what is required in structuring Wiktionary
It is an important resource in its own right; the GEMET data
It gives us the ability to handle open content glossary/thesauri
It gives us an idea how Wiktionary could/should evolve
The SQL defenitions are posted on Meta. I do not see how to add them on
bugzilla.

Thanks,
