Hi Andy,
The post last autumn said you had 176,000 items matched to OSM, a very
large proportion of which (at least at that time) had no P31 "instance
of", but you had been able to deduce this from Wikipedia.
Would it be possible to start loading Wikidata with that information --
ie complete the P31's that were missing?
I'm hoping to be using Wikidata very soon to identify what certain maps
are maps of, based on their latitude, longitude and extent -- it would
be really useful to have the "instance of" info on Wikidata from this
set, plus any more that you have.
Is the data extract still about; and would it be straightforward for me
or anybody else to get moving on this? (Priority areas being
battlefields, cathedrals, castles & any other such features that might
have a plan of them appear in a 19th century book).
Thanks,
James.

I was throwing around ideas with a friend about how OpenStreetMap could be
integrated with Wikidata.
I and others have done a lot of work on this already:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikipedia
My proposal for a bot to tag items in OSM, with the corresponding Wikidata ID:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Pigsonthewing/Wikipedia
has stalled, due to OSM-community opposition to automated edits:

though I hope we shall soon be able to get a trial edit done, to show
that a larger set should follow.
