OSM integration question

Jump to: navigation, search

Hoi Jeroen,

I'm a participant on the roads project on the Dutch-language Wikipedia, and noticed your name when I was researching OpenStreetMap/Wikipedia integration. My question is maybe a bit more of a general guidance question, but my goal is to use OSM maps within road articles, and adding the road info to those maps (and I can imagine that being a two-way street, where OSM might get the data from Wikipedia). Who would be the best (technical) point of contact for this? Any clues where to get started? Any input welcome.

You probably want to talk to User:Kolossos.

My expertise here is limited to parser hooks for embedding maps, geocoding and geospatial operations, as well as visualizing structured data stored in wiki using SMW.

Excellent, I was looking for a starting point, so I'll have a word with User:Kolossos. In the long run I might be quite interested in how to use geospatial vicinity in order to enhance knowledge (road or monument coords show proximity to village coörds, gets linked). I will check out SMW. Milliped (talk) 01:08, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
