[edit] Database

The geo database keeps track of all articles in Wikipedia with geographic coordinates, and provides the data source for the neighborhood information, as well as the data source for other external mechanisms taking advantage of the Wikipedia geographical information, such as the NASA World Wind Wikipedia overlay.

Additionally, the geo database will provide data for the future Wikimap, so that the maps produced by Wikimaps will contain all the relevant information from Wikipedia as clickable points. For this, geo attributes are crucial: Airports really should appear as airports on the map, mountains as mountains, and cities as cities, with the right magnitude.
