Coutney,
Thanks for the reply. I was reading the documentation on Semantic
MediaWiki and what I understood is that it is good for more complex
queries like «What are the hundred world-largest cities with a female
mayor?» since Wikipedia does not provide direct answers for such
queries. But the queries I have can be obtained from Wikipedia... (for
example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=0&…)earch&ns0=1)...
I just need to export them in an xml format. Do you know if this can
be done using a special export?
More specifically, this query works:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export/401(k)
But I cannot make it work for:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export/what_is_401(k)?
Any ideas?
Thanks again for the help,
Marelia

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!

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!
