Don't they have MediaWiki APIs and dumps? Look at other wiki sites. Also there is Kiwix and various offline apps. Have you seen them?

Thoughts?

Also what's the difference between WikiData and DBPedia?

Wikidata is a Wikimedia project with aim to create a structured knowledge based. It is mostly filled and curated by humans: https://www.wikidata.org

DBPedia is a knowledge base which content is extracted from Wikipedia (mostly from the infoboxes). It is a project run by researchers: http://dbpedia.org
