I wrote a web-application which can display either Wikipedia articles of
any language version, which have got geographical coordinates, or
Wikidata items, which have got coordinates, or Wikimedia Commons
categories with coordinates, or OSM objects which have got wikidata=,
wikipedia=, wikimedia_commons=* tags around a location.
The web-application is available via the link:
http://ausleuchtung.ch/geo_wiki/
It is about twenty file lines of code. All heavy lifting is done by the
Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikimedia APIs, or in one word - MediaWiki API, and
the Overpass API. Click on the map and the geo-markers with the
corresponding links will appear on the map around the click. With
Wikimedia API, i.e. with the Wikimedia Commons categories, it sometimes
may work after a slight delay, as if the API is "asleep" to save energy,
but as soon as one starts to use it, after about half a minute it works
fine.
I am thinking of integrating also search of videos with coordinates
around the click. However, I am not certain yet with videos.
I use this web-application for planning my surveys to see what is there
at a certain place, which categories I may improve, what Wikidata items
I may enrich being on the ground, etc.
Best regards,
Oleksiy

Hi John,
yes indeed such references are not visible on a rendered map, but that
is true for many kinds of information stored in OSM. As you point out
this is more interesting for other types of data consumers such as
mobile apps. Website links are a great example for linked content as
well. Now that I'm thinking about it, telephone numbers and Wikipedia
references are of a similar type that can be easily used by app users.
I'm just looking for more examples to get an idea of what people are
doing already to connect OSM with other services, especially via APIs.
Thanks,
Sebastian

How would you expect this work? On a rendered tile I can't see a way
but on an offline version such as osmand you can already link to a
webpage.

Hi,
is anybody aware of 3rd party APIs that are integrated into the OSM
database? An example for what I mean would be a mapped car park
with an API link added as a tag that offers functionality such as
retrieving the number of available parking spots. Another example
would be uic_ref values on railway=station objects or ref:X values
on highway=bus_stop objects which also allow using 3rd party APIs
using these identifiers. Yet another example I already know about
are Wikidata identifiers that allow queries to the Wikidata Query
Service.
Thanks for any input on this,
Sebastian
