The Semantic Maps extension adds semantic capabilities to the MapsExtension:Maps extension. This includes the ability to add, edit, aggregate and visualize coordinate data stored through the Semantic MediaWikiExtension:Semantic MediaWiki extension. Since Semantic Maps uses the Maps API, you can use multiple mapping services. These include Google Maps (with Google Earth support), Yahoo! Maps, OpenLayers and OpenStreetMap. For more information, including installation instructions, see the documentation on GitHub.

Download and installation

See the installation instructions.

Documentation and examples

Since MediaWiki.org does not have Semantic Maps installed the usage documentation is placed on semantic-mediawiki.org, where live examples work and use can be made of the automatic documentation features of Semantic Maps.

Go to the Semantic Maps documentation or the Semantic Maps examples.
