I've created a nice little map of OSM data with a wikidata tag. It's based on the fantastic Overpass Turbo (which returns data dynamically) and UMap (which allows you to customise how a map is displayed):

http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/untitled-map_14808#12/52.4852/-1.9578

I'm going to write a blog about how I created this map as I think it's a great way to display data (and add more maps to our mappa-mercia.org site).

Ooh, this is nice - certainly shows how wikidata can be displayed in a much more user friendly way. One improvement I would like to see is an indication of whether the wikidata item is tagged in OpenStreetMap. This could be done via TagInfo's API.

For example clicking TagInfo on the following page shows no items in OpenStreetMap (whereas your example page for St Paul's Church showed 1 way/polygon in OSM).

The API documentation details for TagInfo is at:

http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/taginfo/apidoc#api_4_search_by_key_and_value

Example for St Paul's:

http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/api/4/search/by_key_and_value?query=wikidata%3DQ915614 <http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/api/4/search/by_key_and_value?query=wikidata%3DQ915614&page=1&rp=10> &page=1&rp=10

Andy, do you know the developer of Reasonator?

Regards,
Rob

> Wikidata

Reasonator, which puts a human-friendly front end on Wikidata, is now
showing two links for geotagged entries, to TagInfo and OverpassTurbo,
querying these tags

For example, the Reasonator page:

  http://tools.wmflabs.org/reasonator/?q=Q915614

has links to:

   http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/wikidata=Q915614

   http://overpass-turbo.eu/?w=%22wikidata%22%3D%22Q915614%22+global <http://overpass-turbo.eu/?w=%22wikidata%22%3D%22Q915614%22+global&R> &R

You''ll see them just below the map images.
