Yes, it "can be done" but it's not "been made". The information is there 
for decades or centuries, and it was never registered outside of 
Wikipedia, and now we have interested people, available time and enough 
resources to make it happen.

We already did a lot of things that could be made (less efficiently, 
indeed) outside Wikipedia. Let's begin with Wikipedia itself. And what 
about Wikimedia Commons?

This is knowledge, and our commitment is to freely share the knowledge 
with every human being, so change the question from "Why?" to "Why not?".
