In general, we believe that Wikipedia has a great potential to help and improve global studies. In particular, the amount of information that was not posible to retrieve from wikipedia was not imposible of managing manually. The markdown parsing was difficult to understand when we started, but at the endi, it facilitated the retrieval of information. But the fact that a markdown document in Wikipedia can be manually processed and cleaned by people around the world, gives us a great idea of the potential of Wikipedia as a platform for Open Data.
