I think a lot of us are waiting for this. It would be nice if
dicomlookup.com would release a ~mysqldump of there database so the
rest of us have something to start playing with. For now I guess you
have to either process the ASCII dictionary found in dcmtk or GDCM.

Agree. In fact that's what I was expecting to do meanwhile there's no
better possibilities.
About the DCMTK dictionary, is it updated often? Or is just updated per
DCMTK new version?
