Hi Aidan,
With Tassos and Rossano, we have a similar project (same name in fact). You can check-it out here: www.wiki-atlas.org, maybe we could exchange some experiences about it.
Best, Diego
Hi Diego,
Thanks for the pointer; this is very cool! We would be happy to share experiences. (It's very impressive how many points you are able to render, and how these resize at different scales!)
Indeed it seems we were not so original with the name. :)
It seems both systems offer two different functionalities: one focuses on the "what's close to here" functionality, while the other focuses on the "where in the world are there X" functionality, like "where in the world are there lighthouses [1]", but generalised to all the types in Wikidata. It would be interesting to see how these two modalities could be combined in future maybe?
Best, Aidan

Dear Diego, Aidan and Benjamin, thanks for working on such functionality - both tools seem to be quite useful already. One way to abstract things out further would be to facilitate a mapping (e.g. heatmaps) of non-geo things - for example basketball players by number of points, perhaps with filters per season or club. Is anyone here thinking in such directions? Another request would be to have parametrized URLs based on QID and perhaps type or language, e.g. http://www.wiki-atlas.org/English/museums/Q7877613 or some such. Best, Daniel
