Re: [OSM-talk] new Wikidata+OSM data in one RDF database

2017-05-13 Thread Kolossos
Nice work Yuri,
I hope the next version will have geometries in GeoSPARQL and an output
directly on a map, but one step after another.

I believe for the moment it's not so important to have all the OSM
objects without Wikidata link inside the database. To handle this amount
of data would be much harder.

Very cool project.

Best regards

Re: [OSM-talk] Can wikidata links help fight name inflation?

2015-06-07 Thread Kolossos
I was the person who adds most of the labels to London, so I want to
share also my thoughts. I did this for all capitals and countries in the
world to be able to create worldmaps in different languages. Such world
maps in local languages are known from each school atlas and are used in
local television news.

For this action I use Wikipedia article names. So London was in each
language important enough to write an article about it in this language.
Which is a lot of work, someone invested.

Before this action I checked and discuss that there was no legal issue
by using Wikipedia article names. Now they are at Wikidata under CC-0 so
definitely free.

The bias in this discussion that English labels are ok and helpful but
other languages are not, is scary for me. Please take a look at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_number_of_native_speakers
and find that English is only on place 3 of the list.

We have a good chance that we will see in short-therm multilingual maps
in lots of websites by using vector tiles. And in this moment we really
want to make it harder to add such translations?

Now to Frederiks proposal:
To use Wikidata is really an interesting idea to reduce duplicated work,
also for more than place names.
With some pre-condition we could talk more positive about Frederiks
proposal:
*There should be in the future an additional, official version of
planet-dumps and diffs that are enrich with content from Wikidata. Such
a service must be stable as the other planet dumps. This service would
kill the argument that it is harder to use external database Wikidata
for apps. If not we create duplicated work for developers that we want
to avoid elsewhere.
*We would need much more Wikidata tags in OSM, now we have only 35.000
and for wikipedia-Tags we have also only 450.000. But I have a database
of 3.5 Mio Wikipedia-objects that have a coordinate. So there is work
for years.
*We should also discuss with the Wikidata community the scope of there
project. Perhaps we can come to a point where everything is inside the
scope that is interesting for a Wikimedia project AND for OpenStreetMap.
But if we come with the idea that we want to store opening hours for
little shops in Wikidata I'm sure that the Wikidata  community would not
be amused to it. (I already try it.)

So before we have something of the pre-conditions on the horizont I
think it's easier go further with the way of name tags we have now for
years.

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM-Tagging in Wikidata

2014-12-30 Thread Kolossos
Ok, lets take the second example of Wind turbines:
power=generator + generator:source=wind

The first tag "power=generator" is a more general tag and you have the
specific tag "generator:source=wind". For the second tag you have a Wiki
page:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:generator:source%3Dwind
On this wiki-page you can find that the general tag "power=generator" is
obligatory. So this tag delivers no additional information, because it
exist in each case.

In my eyes the first general tag exist only for historical reasons and
for software/render-styles that are not very specific, they can work so
without an update after each creation of a new tag.

So please see the project as a project to link from Wikidata to OSM-Wiki
and taginfo, not as a project to register all combinations of tags.

I would like to keep it as simple as possible and I don't want to
replace the OSM-Wiki where all usefull combinations of tags are described.

You would not only destroy the URL to the OSM-Wiki you would also damage
the format checking tools that we have in Wikidata[1].

Perhaps you have a better example to let me re-think this topic.
"cuisine=fastfood" is only used 12 times [2].

I'm also a little bit sceptical to handle such data twice, my hope was
to use Taginfo-integration to bring the data to the osm-wiki.

I think together with a little js-script like qlable [1] we would be
able to provide translations in different language, but for a search in
the wiki it would not help.

It's possible to build 1:n and n:1 relations.

That means "amenity=marketplace" links to 2 Wikidata entries Q330284
(marketplace) and Q132510 (streetmarket). In the other direction
"power=minor_line" and "power=line" are linking both to Q2144320

As far I can see it's not possible to support an AND.

[OSM-talk] OSM-Tagging in Wikidata

2014-12-28 Thread Kolossos
Hello,
I work the last weeks to bring the OSM-tagging to
Wikidata, by using:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P1282

I work through the "Map features"-site from top to down.
(It was a funny job to find right Wikipedia-articles.)
Not in all cases it was possible to find a right matching.

The main use-case I see in translations of our tagging system in smaller
languages. This can be interesting for tools like ID-editor or for the
search in the OSM-Wiki. Wikidata can also be a hub to connect to other
projects.

At the end I hope also this connection can help to give OSM objects an
Wikipedia/Wikidata-Tag. So I hope we can check a tagging with the "is
instance of"-property in Wikidata.

Taginfo already support this 626 connections:

Re: [OSM-talk] ImageInOsm: a photomapping mobile application

2013-08-28 Thread Kolossos
Hello Gilles,
you can use additionally also:
   http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:image
So you would have links in both direction.

Do you want to use Geocoding? All Smartphones have GPS, but you need a
feature to adjust the position, and an camera-app with this feature
would be very helpful.

I'm a member of Wikimedia Commons community. I'm relatively sure that
this community will be sad if someone uploads tons on pictures where you
only see housenumbers. Thats what mappers doing.

Each picture on Commons also need a description, category and so on.
This makes a lot of work.

I like the idea of a cooperation between OSM an Wikimedia, but I see
Commons only as place for a selection of pictures that mappers make.
Commons is also without your project on a good way to become a media
garbage dump.
So please give the user a chance to make a selection for an upload to
Commons. If you want to go an other way, please discuss this with
Commons community.

Wikimedia Commons supports with over 3.5 Mio pictures also geocoding:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Geocoding
Each geocoded image gets also a link the description page to an OSM-map.
(I'm the maintainer of this map-frontend.)
Example map:
https://toolserver.org/~kolossos/openlayers/commons-on-osm.php?zoom=16&lat=51.05&lon=13.73

So geocoding is long-time stable, working for years and I can't see a
benefit by using a reference to in-stable OSM-ID's. Perhaps you can
explain the benefit you see.

Re: [OSM-talk] Please test this "Native wikipedia link" - feature

2013-06-26 Thread Kolossos

Hello Tirkon,
the tool is working, but it would also no problem to write such a tool 
on base of Wikipedias interwikilinks. Wikipedia article names are human 
readable, and I would be careful to call a link to "Q1" native for 
somebody.


We had a proposal for a Wikidata-Tag. Please read my comment there:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AProposed_features%2FWikidata&diff=884867&oldid=883084 



So I believe we will need Wikidata, but only for entries without an 
Wikipedia article.

- This already works fine since more than one year.
- the tagging scheme can handle different language even in parallel
- BUT: the tagging of ONE LANGUAGE is SUFFICIENT, the rest is handled as
linking within Wikipedia


Just a few days after the collaboration of Wikipedia and OSM began, I
posted a whole bunch of ideas what could be done, i.e. generating maps
like this automaticely from OSM.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage:Imagemap_Landkreis_Aurich
This would be far beyond that, what is done by WIWOSM. Thus I am
really happy to have WIWOSM. Thus I wrote a German guide just the day
after it was introduced on the FOSSGIS. Sadly we have the problem,
that it does not work in the Internet Explorer. So long it is
problematical to convince Wikipedians using WIWOSM instead of the old
less advantageous tools. My intension was and is to advertise this
collaboration. All this should make clear that I really care about
WIWOSM.

My focus on the collaboration of Wikipedia and OSM is also the reason,
why I came up with the idea of this thread. At the moment the only
question is whether it works or not - nothing more. You are right: For
WIWOSM one language link is sufficient. You wrote that the rest has to
be done in Wikipedia. Again you are right. And this thread is the
first beginning of testing just that. If it works, the next step could
be to find the Wikidata object from the link to one discretionary
language article. But the essential part that needs testing is what I
brang up here. If it works, everybody has the possibility to use a
"Native wikipedia link", i.e. in a posting or a mail, in an OSM map or
in another project.

I never asked to implement something in OSM. I only begged for a test
in order to make this feature possible. Thus the title of this thread
is: "Please !!TEST!! this "Native wikipedia link" - feature" and not
"Please implement this "Native wikipedia link" - feature".

Be assured that I will not ask to implement something in OSM without
caring about WIWOSM. ;-)

Hello Andreas,
It seems in principle possible to support anchor-links but it was not in 
our focus, because our frontend had only one map per article. (You can 
believe me the sytem was complex enough ;-)).  I will talk about this

It will also have some problems with articles in different languages

Am 05.05.2013 11:26, schrieb Andreas Labres:

Tim,

There are different problems, let's keep them separate (vielleicht reden wir
auch - Englisch - aneinander vorbei... ;)

a) There is a problem in the code of osm.org how it links wikipedia articles.
You can't do a link like this:

 $PATH#anchor?uselang=en

This is bad URL syntax. You (osm.org) have to do

$PATH?uselang=en#anchor

https://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/4802

b) It is "not a good idea" to link objects in Wikipedia lists like

 Liste der denkmalgeschützten Objekte in Wien/Penzing#objektid-25026

This object should have its own "name" in Wikipedia, which then redirects to
whereever this object can be found. This shouldn't be "external" but a feature
in Wikipedia/Wikidata/Wikiwhatsoever.

c) The objectID I'm referencing is nothing "external", it's a nationally unique
ID given by the Austrian Bundesdenkmalamt which identifies each "monument" in
Austria. Therefore it's the best idea to use /this/ as /the/ reference to the
given object (with reference to it being a historic monument). Alex Wagner, who
created all the "Denkmalgeschützte Objekte" in Austria in the Wikipedia used it
when he created the Wikipedia pages.

http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-at/2013-April/005542.html  ff

OSM could save this objectID, say:

ref:monument=AT:25026

and WIWOSM then knows how to find this (uniquely identified) object in 
Wikipedia.

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM relation ID property in Wikidata

2013-05-05 Thread Kolossos

Hello Andreas,
I hope Wikidata part 3 solve the problem with the list, so that an 
object would be one Wikidata entry and can be a member in different 
lists but can also have an own article.


A map with objects in the example article is here:[1]

I have no influence on the way how
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/48434939
links to Wikipedia, I could also only ask an admin.
With a link to index.php it would be easy to solve[2].

An external project with m:n-relations between OSM and WP would have 
it's own problems.

Tim,

There are problems with WIWOSM that aren't solved at all...

Example: Historic monuments in Austria. They are all covered in Wikipedia, but
mostly only in Lists. And they do have a distinguishable objectID, but I can't
really state this in OSM.

For instance:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/207854465 ist such a historic monument
with objectID 25020.
It can be found in Wikipedia here:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_denkmalgesch%C3%BCtzten_Objekte_in_Wien/Penzing#objektid-25020

So I can only state the tag
wikipedia:de = Liste der denkmalgeschützten Objekte in
Wien/Penzing#objektid-25020

This has the effect that the link in OSM doesn't work (because OSM adds a
userlang parameter behind the anchor reference which I consider a bug of OSM
[did already report it]).

And also WIWOSM can't reference the distict object. Though it seems to be able
to reference some of the "Liste_der_denkmalgeschützten_Objekte_in_Wien/Penzing".
It can't do all because some of the objects do have their own wikipedia
entrance, for instance Mariarunn church:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/48434703
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfarr-_und_Wallfahrtskirche_Mariabrunn

So what would be necessary is that wikipedia and OSM would agree on some kind of
generic ID, which could in the case of historic monuments in Austria be some
/monument/AT/$objectID, e.g.

   /monument/AT/25020, which then would redirect to

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_denkmalgesch%C3%BCtzten_Objekte_in_Wien/Penzing#objektid-25020

whereas

   /monument/AT/24616 could redirect to
   http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfarr-_und_Wallfahrtskirche_Mariabrunn

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM relation ID property in Wikidata

2013-05-04 Thread Kolossos

Hello,
as co-creator of WIWOSM I was also against this Wikidata-property, but I 
came too late.
WIWOSM links are not only more stable and human-readable, the are also 
much more flexible. So in WIWOSM we can suport relations but also 
multirelations, ways, multiways nodes, multinodes. I'm waiting for the 
day where the people starts to create relations for each building only 
to be able to link on it from Wikidata.


We have now Wikipedia-Tags for over 300.000 objects and I would prefer 
to concentrate the power of the community to one system instead to split 
it.


In my eyes, what Wikidata perhaps need is one bit (created by a bot) 
with the information yes there is an matching OSM object to create a 
link to a map, the rest can come from WIWOSM.


Later if Wikidata starts to have entries without an own 
Wikipedia-article we should support a Wikidata-Tag, but thats on way[2]. 
This will happen at part 3 of Wikidata-project were they want to support 
list creation. With projects like WikiLovesMonuments I'm sure that we 
will have on some places a link for each building, so the problem above 
is not only theory.

Shouldn't OSM use Wikipedia URLs as UUIDs where applicable rather than

In fact there are the (wikipedia, *) tags - but not sure how good the

I am less concerned about the Wikidata side - if they make a bad
judgement then it is their mess to clean up. I am however concerned
that if more people simply assume that the status quo is there to stay
("IDs are stable enough"), this will put pressure on *us* and limit
our flexibility in the future.

The OSMF has sent a pretty strong message saying that object IDs are
stable enough to base impactful legal decisions on them.  It will look
silly for them to go back to the stance that IDs aren't stable after
all.

There's two sides to ID stability. One is stability during software
or data
model changes and the other is stability during normal mapping.
Frederik's
post was concerned more with the former.

The latter is more complicated. Because the original message linked to
London, it's worth pointing out that a few admin relations did get
new IDs
in the redaction process for technical reasons and that periodically
relations get given new IDs because old large complex relations don't
interact well with the /history call.

Re: [OSM-talk] Translating the world

Good starting point for such an application seems to be the Amenity Editor:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Amenity_Editor

In the moment it's difficult to select and editing nodes cities for 
large area. Only way I see is to use overpass API with a more or less 
cryptical URL[1] and adding a new name-tag is not so simple as it could 
be. So a simple to use webservice could involve more people.


So any help is welcome to create such a translating tool.

Hi Tim,

This looks very promising.
I'm sure that many people fluent in two or more languages could get
involved in the project, once a proper editing interface is set-up.

There's already a lot to do for the regions and cities names.
I'm thinking of one of my korean friend living in France at the moment,
for who it would be easy to set the French city names and administrative
subdivisions in hangul, based on the default (French) name.

In my opinion, one should be able to
_ log with his OSM account,
_ set his translation language (e.g. Korean)
_ set the desired area, and the type of administrative subdivision level
(coutry, region, city ...)

And the interface could propose
_ the list of subdivisions found (for example by Nominatim),
_ names in the translation language already present in the database
_ names proposed, based on interwiki links
_ check boxes to confirm that default name can apply in the destination
language / or confirm that interwiki proposal is ok
_ Fields to allow adjustment / addition of name in the destination language.

So I gave up on that idea and rolled-back my modifications. I limited my

You should certainly get in contact with the local community before
doing any sort of mass import of names in a language you don't
understand. For example last time your Vietnamese names had not been
that satisfactory.

Did you read my answer in german Mailinglist and the link to further 
discussion?

*http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User_talk:Kolossos#Re:_CLDR_is_an_unreliable.2C_inconsistent_source_for_Vietnamese_names
It was not so negative.


How about providing an easy to proof-read extract for the local
communities before doing the actual import?

And maybe also double-checking that the admin boundaries of 3166-2
you're going to use are accurate.


My vague idea to do this is to create a table in the wiki.

[OSM-talk] Translating the world

2012-10-25 Thread Kolossos

Hello,
in the last two weeks I translated all countries in all languages that 
are available in the unicode-Project CLDR[1]. For this I used 
Overpass-API link for country codes ISO3166-1[2].


In the second step I translated all capitals in tons of languages by 
using InterWikiLinks of Wikipedia and Addtags[3] together with 
Overpass-API[4] and Nominatim.


You can check the results for zoom levels 0-6  with map on 
Wikimedia-toolserver[5], by changing languages under "options" (You can 
use up- and down-key).


I hope I didn't make more mistakes than native speaker would do by hand.

These things were a small step to support multilingual-maps[6] on low 
zoom levels. For the next steps more people are necessary.
In my eyes it seems useful to work as next step on the regions that are 
regulated in ISO3166-2, but we have no clean tagging schema for this.
A source for translation could by a debian project[7], but I need to 
clarify the legal aspects.


Other important thing would be to translate large cities or isles.

Any comments and ideas?

2012-07-17 Thread Kolossos
I activate now WIWOSM[1] on all language versions of Wikipedia that 
support the OSM-Gadget[2]. But it's still

beta-status because it's not running on IE (we work on that.).

WIWOSM is a project to highlighting objects that are described in the 
article by using the Wikipedia-Tag inside OSM.


It would be nice we you can help to make the Wikipedia-Tags more popular.
We have in the moment 168.000 Wikipedia-tags[3] in OSM but nearly 2 Mio.
coordinates in Wikipedia, so there is a lot of work to do.

Important is that the Wikipedia-Tag contains the language and the 
article. Later we can use this connection of both projects also for 
other features.


To connect both projects we create two tools:
*Wikipedia-Plugin in JOSM
*http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/RemoteControl/Add-tags

A tagging style issue: What's the reason for using the wikipedia:lang=*
form, rather than the wikipedia=lang:* form?

I was under the impression that using a single link with the wikipedia
key as the primary (and usually only) wikipedia link and relying on
Wikipedia's interlanguage links for other languages was a somewhat
accepted tagging style.

Using wikipedia:lang=* is only a good idea in addition to
wikipedia=lang:*, and only in those cases where interlanguage links
cannot work (e.g. when one of the Wikipedia versions uses a collective
article for several objects). But if I understand your tool correctly,
the individual objects in these these cases wouldn't be listed anyway,
so there's really no reason for it to suggest wikipedia:lang=* tags.
