  Huh. Some of that I think some people hoped would be available (for free) via things like WikiData. I guess nobody should wait for that. My somewhat concern is that the wikipedia project has kind of put a flag in the ground to say that providing free access to wikipedia is no longer part of their mission if it's automated/bulk access.
