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

Yes and no ;-)
Of course we want to interlink the OSM data with as many other data 
sources as possible. Candidates are Geonames, Wiki/DBpedia, 
Worldfactbook, OpenResearch [1] etc.
Such interlinkages fit also very well into the OSM data model (which is 
very close to RDF in many aspects). Basically everybody can start 
creating links between the data sources by either using 
http://LinkedGeoData.org/browser or via OSM's REST API (any other OSM 
editor will do as well). Right now we are busy creating an complete RDF 
dump and setting up the bi-directional live syncronization between 
LinkedGeoData.org and OSM. So feel free to create mappings and store 
them in OSM's DB via its API. They will then also show up automatically 
on LinkedGeoData.org.


Best,

Sören

That looks great.

And if you wanted to do more linkage, we have put the UN/LOCODE data [1] at
http://unlocode.rkbexplorer.com/
(RDF:
http://unlocode.rkbexplorer.com/models/unlocode-towns.rdf
http://unlocode.rkbexplorer.com/models/unlocode-countries.rdf
http://unlocode.rkbexplorer.com/models/unlocode-municipalunits.rdf )

And the UK's Ordnance Survey administrative geography is at
http://os.rkbexplorer.com/
(RDF: http://os.rkbexplorer.com/models/AdministrativeGeography.rdf)

Nice work, you beat me to it. :-)
But since you take a slightly different approach, I think I'll publish my OSM 
Wrapper anyway.

Sure, the more the merrier ;-)
Maybe we can have some more discussions about the conceptual differences 
and similarities and ultimately maybe even join efforts?
