This is getting off-topic, but... while I haven’t been doing much
professionally with pointy-brackets lately, I *have* been doing a lot
with Wikipedia. There is a tool called Wiki2XML which normalizes the
data into an XML representation.
There is also a large database, indexing all the links and
relationships, and including the XML representation of the articles,
which a couple of my cow-orkers have prepared and my employer has
released.
Links to Wiki2XML and the database are at <URL:
