I’ve got a foot in both Wikipedia and OpenStreetmap camps and for the purposes of conflating the geodata and maintaining , it is much easier to have either a common unique identifier that identifies each object such as some national identifier from “List of Nationally Culturally Important Properties”, and insert into both WikiPedia and OpenStreetmap.
For this case the next best solution is to link both ways i.e.: Openstreetmap: use the wikipedia:key https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikipedia or the wikidata key https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikidata when it moves beyond “defacto” status or better. Wikipedia/Wikidata: use a key that points to the OpenStreetmap object, be it a node, way, area or polygon e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1253343627 However according to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Collaboration_with_Wikipedia the current practice is to link from Wikipedia back to a geo-coordinate, that would work as well, just a bit more effort if it’s not an exact match as any checking routine needs to allow for a bit of error. This way it is reasonably possible to keep both aligned and join (in the database sense) the information in both directions without having to put in a huge amount of effort into comparing the two data sets Alex > On 12 Oct 2016, at 3:39 PM, Leigh Blackall <leighblack...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I Sam, thanks for the reply.
