Tie Wikipdia articles to Google maps locations with Matthew Somerville’s PlaceoPedia. It’s not strictly speaking public sector data, but it’s public domain data which is even better I suppose. Suddenly its an open road ahead to the place where all human knowledge is linked and searchable by locations.
Please note – both Placeopedia.com and YourHistoryHere.com are mySociety ‘Back O’ The Envelope’ projects, and were built by Sam Smith, Matthew Somerville with help from others. Just making sure credit goes where its due!
