Hi Sören
Have you any plans to link those data with geonames.org data?
Bernard
Hi all,
We were working in the last weeks on bringing geo data derived from
the marvelous OpenStreetMap project [1] to the data web. This work in
progress is still far from being finished, however, we would like to
share some first preliminary results:
* A *vast amount of point-of-interest descriptions* was extracted from
OSM and published as Linked Data at <http://linkedgeodata.org>
* The *Linked Geo Data browser and editor* (available at
<http://linkedgeodata.org/browser>) is a facet-based browser for geo
content, which uses an OLAP inspired hypercube for quickly retrieving
aggregated information about any user selected area on earth.
Further information can be also found in our AKSW project description:
<http://aksw.org/Projects/LinkedGeoData>
Thanks go to Sebastian Dietzold, Jens Lehmann, Sebastian Hellmann,
David Aumueller and other members of the AKSW team for their
contributions.
Merry Christmas to everybody from Leipzig
Sören
