Hoi,
This is great news.. Would it be possible to associate the items with maps they may be on ?

I can imagine that this helps a lot with historical maps as well ..
Thanks,

Subject: [OSM-talk] Adding Wikidata tags to 70k items automatically
To: talk@openstreetmap.org


I've written some code to match items in Wikidata with items in OSM. Currently
I have found 70,849 unique matches, where there is a one-to-one mapping
between OSM and Wikidata objects.

I'd like to annotate these 70k objects in OSM with a Wikidata tag
automatically.

For example:

Way: Piper's Orchard (43246411)
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/43246411

And on Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7197307

I would like to add wikidata=Q7197307 to "Piper's Orchard".

The code to find the matches is here:

https://github.com/edwardbetts/osm-wikidata

Matching criteria:

https://github.com/EdwardBetts/osm-wikidata/blob/master/entity_types.json

The results are here:

The best approach is probably to update 100 items with wikidata tags, then
we can check them to make sure the edit looks good. If everything is fine I
can go ahead and load the other 70k.

Does anybody have a strong preference that the edits are split up by region,
or loaded in batches?

Any objections?

I've read https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edit_Policy - if
there are no major objections I'll go ahead and create
