[OSM-talk] TagFinder - a full text search engine for OSM tags (prototype)

[Stefan Keller]

It's a pleasure to release a new webapp called TagFinder. TagFinder is
a full text search engine for OpenStreetMap tags. It uses the
unequaled Taginfo, translation services (german to english), thesaurs
and an adapted domain-specific semantic net.

There's a demo prototype (in english and german) including an API
running on Heroku:  http://tagfinder.herokuapp.com/ .

TagFinder was developed during a semester thesis in informatics at the
Geometa Lab (Prof. Keller) at University for Applied Sciences
Rapperswil (Switzerland). The application is written in Python 2.7 and
uses the Flask web framework. The source code is on Github
(https://github.com/geometalab/OSMTagFinder ).

Feel free to test it and give feedback e.g. here, on Twitter
@geometalab, as a Github issue or to me directly.
