Re: [OSM-talk] Building a free/open reviews community w/ OSM support

Thanks all for the helpful responses. I'll explore using the Overpass API and its "permanent ID" feature [1] for now. I do tend to agree with Joost that it makes sense for OSM to have a policy for external identifiers -- even if the threshold is not one that this project can meet yet. :) It'll be

Hi Clifford, Let me clarify that we're discussing OSM tagging with Wikidata IDs, not Wikipedia articles. They are two related but different concepts. Pine On Aug 8, 2016 22:05, "Clifford Snow" wrote: > > On Mon, Aug 8, 2016 at 9:42 PM, Pine W

Re: [Talk-us] [OSM-talk] Building a free/open reviews community w/ OSM support

Speaking as an OSM novice but an experienced Wikimedian, having Wikidata ID tags makes sense to me. This sounds like something that could benefit Wikidata, Wikipedia, and other projects that recognize Wikidata IDs. There might be no need to have multiple external ID tags in OSM if the Wikidata tag

Re: [OSM-talk] Building a free/open reviews community w/ OSM support

Keeping OSM and an external database linked is no mean feat. Say you load a McDonalds POI to your database and someone reviews it. But then a mapper comes along and changes the node to a line. Upon the next update of your POI database, your review will not find the object it linked to before,

Hi Erik, Interesting project, though I must admit some caution about its success. How do you plan to develop readership for this site? Yelp seems to have a commanding lead. Pine On Aug 5, 2016 18:17, "Erik Moeller" wrote: > Hi Michał, > > Thanks for your comments! > > On

Re: [OSM-talk] Building a free/open reviews community w/ OSM support

Have you devised any robust algorithm for linking OSM primitives to objects in the external database? In general case, it seems really hard to track objects as they get converted from nodes to areas, or decide whether given OSM feature is no longer representing some entity in the external

[OSM-talk] Building a free/open reviews community w/ OSM support

Hi all, I'm working on this project: https://lib.reviews/ The front page explains the goal: to build a free, open and non-profit community focused on reviews. Review content is under CC-BY-SA while the codebase is under CC-0. Basic functionality to write reviews is there (we identify things to
