The idea is to gather the rdf descriptions of pages about scientific articles and seminars (author, topics...) from the wiki and to try to run sparql queries on them (in addition to the article and seminar pages, we would also retrieve the pages that they mention, thus we gather not only the abox but also the tbox).

I am not sure how well it will scale, particularly because of the necessity to harvest the pages. Other semantic wikis that rely on an internal rdf representation may be more appropriate. I plan to give it a look. Just as I type this, I wonder if storing the typed links between pages in a rdf store wouldn't make your work easier in the long run. As I am a newbie here, maybe this has already been discussed?

The whole thing started because I decided to install a wiki for the lab, and as long as doing it, we might as well have the content semantically-enabled: which seminars were about genomics...

Cheers,
