There is a word in German language - Jein. It means Ja und Nein, yes
and no at the same time.<br>
<br>
Here is an article, an information card, of a shop: <a
href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2402537967">http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2402537967</a>
at OSM. It includes brand's URL, phone number, contact e-mail and
telephone, opening hours.<br>
<br>
Here is an article of a hotel: <a
href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2357093470">http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2357093470</a>
. <br>
<br>
In future, when servers' hard disks are even more larger and
processors are even more faster, why not allow to include photos and
video of a hotel and its rooms in this data card? And make this data
card accessible with one click from the map surface.<br>
<br>
It means it would be similar to an on-line encyclopedia but the
access to information, to articles, will be via geographical
location on the planet's surface, on the map, as opposite to a
search by words. That bridge may be crossed when we come to it.<br>
<br>
By the way, there is already OpenStreetMap in Wikipedia articles.
For example here: <a
href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordrhein-Westfalen">http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordrhein-Westfalen</a>
(icon-link in the upper right corner).<br>

<div>I really wonder if we have the same problem. Ultimately,
map data is pretty much fact and whether it exists or not is a
binary statement.</div>
<div>Now, could someone slip "advertisement" like places of all
shops of a specific brand? Yes! Do we care? No, as long as the
data is factual.</div>
<div>I don't care if someone is being paid to put data in
OpenStreetMap as long as this data is correct and valid (and
this is where we have the data Working group).</div>
<div>In Wikipedia case, they have a more serious case of having
to represent people or brand, which is something way more
subjective. Will adding all the shop of a particular brand
improve that brand? Yes, because it is easier to find, but no
because people would be searching for it in the first place.</div>

I wonder to what extent we should follow this. We do
have similar problems without any doubt.<span
