<p>Naturally OSM has a wider remit overall, but it is completely
clear that mapzen was trying to replace OSM as the go to source
for global place (and POIs) locations and names. <br>
</p>
<p>We are not perfect and there are things that we could do better
to improve our competitive position, in particular mapping of
places (that are not administrative entities) as areas is still
not really well worked out.</p>

Hmm - I’ve always felt Who’s on First was more of a Wikidata
