As i have pointed out elsewhere doing QA in OSM based on Wikidata does not in any way depend on the automatic addition of Wikidata IDs to OSM - or in other words: Any ID you'd add based on some matching algorithm just for QA purposes you would not need to add at all. With practical applications i was referring to actual external use of the data. If the only practical use of the wikidata IDs is internal QA that would be a pretty bad ROI in terms of Mapper's work (the time adding IDs would be much better invested into doing actual validation work). > > * To what extent has there been information transferred > > systematically from Wikidata and Wikipedia to OSM based on wikidata > > ID references (like adding names in different languages).

Yesterday i showed examples of systematic node and name tag additions to OSM clearly sourced from Wikidata. It is clear that this is happening. The question is only how extensive such data transfer is. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
