I have found an interesting project: * "Match OSM entities with Wikidata items": http://osm.wikidata.link/ * source: https://github.com/EdwardBetts/osm-wikidata example: Sassari ( Italy ) : https://osm.wikidata.link/matcher/40683 : view match candidates : 16 items found Link for "view match candidates" ; And you will find the matches .. * 7 candidates found * Items with no match found in OSM : 9 items Best, Imre 2017-04-26 17:03 GMT+02:00 Bjoern Hassler <[email protected]>: > Hello all, > > I'm interested in working across Wikipedia and OSM, e.g. fixing Wikidata > tags in OSM, and coordinates in Wikipedia, etc. I've also found this very > useful in terms of ensuring that data is correct on both. > > Does anybody have suggestions for faster linking from Wikipedia to OSM? > > To explain: > > The wikipedia coordinates link (on a wikipedia page) is something like: > https://tools.wmflabs.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename= > Nuraghe_Santu_Antine¶ms=40.4865_N_8.7698_E_ > which then lets you go to OSM (by coordinates) - but obviously, you have > to click that link first, then pick OSM from the list on that page.
