OpenGuides does this for geo stuff; see for example a map of the Good Beer Guide pubs in London: http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?action=index;index_type=category;index_value=Good+Beer+Guide;format=map or http://tinyurl.com/2b82d8 Since things in an OpenGuide know where they are, you can also find things that are close to other things, e.g. sushi places that are near a zone 1 Tube station: http://london.randomness.org.uk/scripts/find.cgi?cat2=Sushi&distance=300&cat1=Zone+1+Stations&do_search=1 or http://tinyurl.com/2ctpqe or everything within half a kilometre of Waterloo Station: http://london.randomness.org.uk/search.cgi?os_dist=500&os_x=531000&os_y=179900&Go=Go or http://tinyurl.com/2glqya I don't know how MediaWiki stores its data, so I don't know how difficult it would be, but it would be very neat if your widget could do something like that too. > I assume that if I get that right I'll have some ideas about extra- > wiki aggregation at the same time. We've been tackling this by means of RDF output, but I don't know if anyone's using our data in practice yet.
