Re: 'Gene WIki' announced

It is not surprising that the protein/gene information is missing from 
DBpedia. Looking at
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dystroglycan&action=edit
it seems like this information is not held in the source of the wiki page. 
Maybe someone with better knowledge about Mediawiki could explain how this 
works and how the information could be harvested by DBpedia? I am planning 
to write a documentation for the DBpedia developers that could help them 
improve the representation of biomedical wiki entries in DBpedia (such as 
creating direct links to the URIs of Uniprot-RDF). This could also be a 
helpful addition.
