http://openstreetmap.org is an example renderer. OSM is the _database_. The
information is in it, and there are several renderers showing various
external content.
This year at Wikimania in Hong Kong there has
been a "Wikimaps" panel,
where it was discussed the possibility to duplicate the OSM whole
stack to serve OpenStreetMap in Wikipedia. The bottom line for me was
What should be noted, however, that we should:
1) avoid to duplicate anything which is done very well by OSMF (which
is maintaining, operating and expanding OSM database), and
2) plan anything a way which helps OSM to get more user contribution,
either through Notes or by direct editing (so we should make it easy
for users to reach OSM edit fesatures over there.
