For me this is an indication how relevant data from Wikipedia and data derived from Wikipedia is. This is only one out of many projects where data derived from Wikipedia has its own life. It is exceedingly important that this movement of extracting data, mashing it with other sources is recognised for its potential. This is the frontier of data connectivity.
Because of its role as the premier encyclopaedic resource Wikipedia has an important position. I hope that the Wikimedia Foundation will recognise its importance and give priority to the necessary tasks that will further this movement.
Thanks.

Nice post on extracting data, simple and too the point :), For simple stuff i use python to get or simplify data,data extraction can be a time consuming process but for larger projects like files, the web, or documents i tried "extracting data from the web" which worked great, they build quick custom screen scrapers, extracting data, and data parsing programs
