Hi developers,<br><br>I'm student who is currently working on using OpenStreetMap to facilitate our project. Now I want to retrieve Wikipedia entry from OpenStreetMap to fertilize the data source for our project. To do this, I crawled OSM data, and found there are few wikipedia tags in my test region (Singapore downtown: minLon=103.84051, maxLon=103.86137, minLat=1.28026, maxLat=1.29298). On the other hand, there are plentiful wikipedia entries in the same area on Google Map. Hence, I guess that the wikipedia entry on OpenStreetMap is added manually. Am I correct? Also, I'm eager to know whether there is any automatic wikipedia entry recognition tool for OpenStreetMap, in case I'm not aware of them.<br>
<br>I've also read some articles that introduce the collaboration of OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia, such as<br><a href="goog_546150628">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Collaboration_with_Wikipedia</a>,<br><a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/OpenStreetMap">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/OpenStreetMap</a>.<br>
One interesting thing is that I found there is a mirror OpenStreetMap: <a href="http://toolserver.org/%7Ekolossos/openlayers/kml-on-ol.php?la=en&uselang=en&lon=103.853039&lat=1.28625&rang=50&map=1">http://toolserver.org/~kolossos/openlayers/kml-on-ol.php?la=en&uselang=en&lon=103.853039&lat=1.28625&rang=50&map=1</a>. And I found there are far more wikipedia entries than those on the main site in my test region, though entry size is still smaller than that on Google Map. So, does this mirror site use some additional techniques to discover wikipedia entries? or is the data source of the mirror site is a bit different from that of the main site?<br>
