Hi there, In [2] we see that there are partially redundante declarations of map features (descriptions of keys or key/value-pairs for tagging OSM primitives) in the wiki. The major reason for redundant is, that they appear both on individual pages (like [[Key:heighway]] or [[Tag:highway=primary]]) and on summary pages (like [[Map Features]]). So far we didn't come up with an approach to *declare* a map feature only once on the Wiki (i.e. by instantiating a suitable template) and to *use* this declaration both in indvidual pages and in summary pages.
I don't see yet how Semantic MediaWiki could help use here because the limited templating approach seems to remain unchanged. An example on how Semantic MediaWiki could help to declare, say, the data for the key/value-pari highway=primary would be very appreciated. Perhaps on the talk page of [2]? -- Karl -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Christian Kögler Gesendet: Montag, 22.

It can help use to keep the osm-wiki more consitend and less redundant, while we have only to place data of keys or values on one place. With Semantic Mediawiki we would have a standardized API to get informations out of the osm-wiki, so other tools can use the data (see also [2]). What you thinking out upgradeing our osm-wiki?
