Hi Jonathan, Workflow sounds good! If I may, a few remarks:
· Given this workflow, I wonder whether we can drop the focus on Wikipedia (to save work/time): 1) If there is an existing Wikipedia page, it will probably already be linked to the corresponding Wikidata item. 2) If we put a Wikidata tag on a street in OSM, I personally see no reason to add a Wikipedia tag as well, as the Wikipedia page can be found through the Wikidata item (I now not all data consumers will work like that, but I feel they should be educated to do so ☺ ) · I guess the link between OSM street and Wikidata item for that street will be done beforehand (automagically)? In that case, we could really focus on the people behind the street names and only fill in the name:etymology:wikidata tag in OSM and/or the ‘named after’ statement in Wikidata. · I suppose the participants of the workshop will also have an option to indicate 1) is this street named after a person (y/n) 2) which gender does the person have (m/f/don’t know) Cheers, Seppe Van: Jonathan Beliën [mailto:l...@jbelien.be] Verzonden: dinsdag 11 februari 2020 10:16 Aan: talk-be@openstreetmap.org Onderwerp: Re: [OSM-talk-be] 17/02: Towards Equal Street Names with Open Data Hello everyone, I just find out about this discussion and realize we are currently doing the work twice ! The initial (and main) goal of the project is indeed to link streets in Brussels from OpenStreetMap with the wikidata "page" of the person present in the streetname ! BUT we got in contact with Romain (Wikimedia Belgium) and he told us that he is working on creating a wikidata "page" for all the streets in Brussels and that his works is almost complete ! So we added that part in our Equal Street Names project ! For every street in Brussels, we'll add the `wikidata` tag and the `name:etymology:wikidata` ! My workflow is the following : * Make the list of streets in Brussels ; * Since almost all the streets have an `associatedStreet` relation in Brussels, I'll start with that and add the streets missing ; * Take the already existing `wikidata` and `name:etymology:wikidata` tags that already exist (on both relations and ways) ; * Romain will provide us the `wikidata` tag for all the streets ; * Next Monday (17/02), we (OSMBE + OKBE + WikimediaBE) organize and event to look for all the missing wikidata/wikipedia page related to the streets in Brussels ; * Workload will be splitted by municipality ; * NOTHING will be added to OSM or Wikipedia/Wikidata during the event ; * Once we have the `wikidata` and/org `name:etymology:wikidata` tags for each street in Brussels, we'll add those 2 tags to OSM ; * Exact procedure is not defined yet ; * Procedure will be documented and we'll ask feedback from the community BEFORE running it ; Everything will be documented in a GitHub repository and on OSM wiki (as soon as I have a little time) ! Long story short, any feedback is more than welcome but let's not step upon each other and try to coordinate our effort ! I've been hired by Open Knowledge Belgium to work on that project. Have a nice day !

I always thought that if I'm the one who adds features to OSM myself, or if I'm the one who places them at their correct spot, using aerial imagery that the data was mine and I could contribute it to Wikidata, if that pleases me. But maybe I shouldn't link back to OSM in that case in the reference url. Seppe, Joost and Jonathan's project is about linking through name:etymology:wikidata to persons, and add those persons to Wikidata if they don't exist there yet. No addition of geodata involved in that case. I know that Romaine has the wish for several years now, to add the streets of Brussels themselves to Wikidata.

You look at OSM data, apply some algorithm and create new data. AFAIK, the project that Seppe, Joost and Jonathan have will not add such data, but if you want to do it, you might contact the LWG to be sure it's OK. I doubt it is. regards m. _______________________________________________ Talk-be mailing list Talk-be@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-be
