[Wikidata] Re: Fwd: [Talk-GB] Welsh Government is now using a Welsh-language baselayer largely based on OSM
Hi all, I led the project last year to include Wikidata on the Welsh OSM so perhaps I can answer your question. The map prioritises Welsh place names from OSM where available. We filled some of the gaps (around 5-6k I think) by pulling Welsh labels from Wikidata where OSM entries have Qid's but no Welsh name. Alongside this we did some work to add more Qid's to Welsh places on OSM but this was done manually. I've also done a lot of work to clean up Welsh settlement data on Wikidata. Andy knows the OSM community better than me but my understanding is that there is more reluctance to go for big batch edits than on Wikidata, but long term, adding more qid's to OSM (aligning the data) would be super valuable for getting the most out of the open data that is already out there, especially for mapping in smaller languages.

I do not know the details; we will have to wait for the promised blog post (it has not been published, at the time of writing). > In other words are they contributing any changes directly to OSM and > Wikidata? I know some of the people behind Mapio Cymru; they are significant contributors to both OSM and Wikidata. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk ___ Wikidata mailing list -- wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org Public archives at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org/message/57VVIE3H2ICSXO2OAXNN3MN6RF7EAI3C/ To unsubscribe send an email to wikidata-le...@lists.wikimedia.org

They take data via Mapio Cymru rather than from OSM directly because we apply some additional rules and bring in names from Wikidata where appropriate. This also means that as we improve Welsh name identification they'll get the benefit of that. Does this mean that the name on Wikidata takes precedence over any name on OSM and that there's no additional data source beyond OSM and Wikidata? In other words are they contributing any changes directly to OSM and Wikidata?
