<div>I thought subscribers to this list would be interested to hear that the National Library of Wales has received some funding from the Welsh Government to work with Mapio Cymru this year. <a href="https://mapio.cymru/en/2021/07/dal-i-fapio/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mapio.cymru/en/2021/07/dal-i-fapio/</a><br>We are working on a variety of projects designed to improve the links between OSM and Wikidata in Wales. The National Library has a resident Wikimedian and a great deal of work over the past few has gone into adding data about Wales to Wikidata (not all of which is geospatial but much of which is or has a geospatial component).<br><br>In particular we will be trying to increase the number of OSM entities in Wales tagged with the appropriate Wikidata QID.<br><br>This should have direct benefits to the Mapio Cymru tileserver <a href="https://openstreetmap.cymru/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://openstreetmap.cymru/</a> In cases where we cannot identify a Welsh name in OSM our script looks for a Wikidata QID and uses the Welsh label (if there is one) from Wikidata as the label on the tile. <br><br>My employers (Data Orchard CIC) have hired a student placement this summer and a portion of her time is dedicated to this project which is very helpful.<br><br>In anyone has suggestions, questions or would like to join in, please let me know.<br><br></div>
