The same type of 'big data' analysis used for cities might work. How well compared to trusting local mappers is harder to determine. Wikipedia and newspaper reference counts are a start, on the notion that more important places get mentioned more often. But it's insanely limited, and gives an inherently global view of what's really a local characteristic. Without putting a microphone in local coffee houses and railroad stations, you're just not going to know. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
