Looks like a great use case for Stanbol. To make it work that will
probably require to build a dedicated entityhub with entities of type
"Skill". Unfortunately DBpedia does not seem to provide such an
owl:Class in it's ontology.

LinkedIn on the other hand does have such a database with links to
wikipedia articles for semantic grounding. See for instance:

  http://www.linkedin.com/skills/skill/Java

However it does not have any RDF dump and the REST API does not seem
to provide a skill query API that would be suitable for wrapping as an
EntityHub referenced site.

Scraping linkedin skills pages to extract such a graph using tools
such as https://scraperwiki.com/ would be possible but probably
illegal as well :)

So, in opinion is that if the early adaptor has a strong technical
background and is ready to invest some effort in building custom
training set both for  building OpenNLP models and EntityHub indices
it might yield interesting results.
