Greetings,

Very interesting topic,

Would love to learn more about geo coding  with Wikidata,
or maybe even about spatial modeling or creating significant improvements
into desired gazeteers &/or geodatabases. Ofcourse, I am not familiar with
much of the .rdf output,
but maybe we can talk about those summarized efforts towards retreiving
spatial attributes using
the Wikidata API >? (SPRQL).
