Good resource! And I think your idea of linking to the disambiguation page makes sense, but there may be a way to infer the correct article from the list of links based on the context of the text in the linking article.

Yeah, there's that as well.

Also, if you're interested in that sort of thing, two other projects you might find interest are:

http://stanbol.apache.org

and

http://uima.apache.org

Both involve extracting semantic meaning from unstructured data. It's pretty cool stuff.
