Flickr used to offer a way to search for folk-tagged place names on photographs with their actual GPS location. I seem to remember maps showing the (overlapping) user-reported boundaries of each tag. But that might have been more than 10 years ago, and they've been through a number of owners since then...
While looking for it, I found this report, which has maps comparing the "vernacular" boundaries of some London wards, with what people mean by place-names on twitter, which I guess is the modern equivalent: http://www.cs.nuim.ie/~pmooney/VGI-Analytics2017/materials/VGI-Analytics_2017_Clasper.pdf --- https://hdyc.neis-one.org/?spiregrain spiregrain_...@ksglp.org.uk On Fri, 15 Nov 2019, at 6:33 PM, Steve Doerr wrote: > Does anyone recognize this?
