Hi,
my ontology proposal gets finished [1]. I'm currently writing the
templates and make some cleanups.

The major reason for redundant is, that they appear both on individual pages (like [[Key:heighway]] or [[Tag:highway=primary]]) and on summary pages (like [[Map Features]]). So far we didn't come up with an approach to *declare* a map feature only once on the Wiki (i.e. by instantiating a suitable template) and to *use* this declaration both in indvidual pages and in summary pages.

An example on how Semantic MediaWiki could help to declare, say, the data for the key/value-pari highway=primary would be very appreciated. Perhaps on the talk page of [2]?
