Mapping Wikipedia

Do SCSpaeth đăng vào 13 tháng 07 năm 2016 bằng English.

Mapbox recently released changes to the iD map editor that connects features to Wikipedia entries: https://www.mapbox.com/blog/id-wikidata/ Mapbox programmers decided to focus on core strength and allow Wikipedia to keep the details up-to-date.

Since the Angle Tree Stone building is on the map and the Angle Tree Stone has a Wikipedia entry, I decided to test the new feature. It took some searching to find the control for adding a Wikipedia entry because it is in a long list that is partially hidden in the interface. Once I found the control, it was easy to add the required information.

When I inspected the additions, I did not find them at first because they are sensitive to the degree of zooming. When I found the Building, Path, and Access Road, they appeared as expected. But when I tried to connect to the Wikipedia entry about the monument, I could not connect. Does it take time to rebuild the databases for this kind of information?

Several developers have created useful interfaces to the database:

This one shows the Mt. Ararat Peak as a large symbol and a title on mouse-over.

Need to select "natural" and check "peak"
Can vary the size of the icon with the pull down menu.

Testing the OpenStreetMap online editor

Nils Peterson and I invested quite a bit of effort into Wayfaring as a mapping tool. They abandoned the project and left us with no way to recover our investment. OpenStreetMap is a much better choice. The data are open. This post demonstrates the potential. iTeam members seem to be excited about the potential.
