Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Map creation

It will be quite difficult for participants to head for 0º N 0º W. Let's ship those monuments back home :-D Vicenç From: lodewijk(a)effeietsanders.org Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2011 10:01:10 +0100 To: wikilovesmonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Map creation Hi, wonderful! It seems like a load of monuments west of Africa also got included! :D great work! Lodewijk 2011/2/16 Maarten Dammers <maarten(a)mdammers.nl> Hi guys, I set up harvesting for 5 new sources: - monuments_ad_(ca) - Andorra - monuments_es-ct_(ca) - Catalunya - monuments_es_(ca) - Spain - monuments_fr_(ca) - France - monuments_it-88_(ca) - Sardinia I haven't done Valencia yet, http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantilla:Filera_BIC_Val still needs to be converted. Please poke me when I can add it. The sources are aggregated in the big table. You can see a (Google Earth) preview at http://toolserver.org/~erfgoed/monuments_test/. Someone else got a country I can add? ;-) Maarten Op 13-2-2011 23:40, Vicenç Riullop schreef: Right, Maarten. ISO code for Sardinia is IT-88 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:IT), so the coordinates have region:IT-88 We have also the templates "Filera BIC And" for Andorra (code ad) and "Filera MH" for France.

We will unify all data with decimal notation. Great! That makes it a lot easier for me to add it to the database. We are using a family of templates with some different fields from different sources. Will it be helpfull to unify them in a more complex template? They are at http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Plantilles_de_formataci%C3%B3_de_tau… named Plantilla:Filera XX Separate templates are probably easier. Let's see if I get this - BC Sard - Monuments of Sardinia, can't find the ISO code for Sardinia, does anyone happen to know it? - BIC - Monuments in Spain, so the table name will be monuments_es_(ca) - BIC Val - Monuments in Valencia, so the table name will be monuments_es-vc. If some other Wikipedia adds them too then I'll append (ca) - BCIN - Monuments in Catalonia, so the table name will be monuments_es-ct. If some other Wikipedia adds them too then I'll append (ca) Maarten Vicenç Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2011 20:14:34 +0100 From: maarten(a)mdammers.nl To: wikilovesmonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Map creation Hi Joan, Op 13-2-2011 10:48, Joan Creus schreef: Hi, I'm from the Catalan project, and recently we have been developing lists of monuments (partially by bot, partially by hand). Some of them include coordinates, which would allow us to create maps of monuments They would useful for photographers. But I wonder how to create them. I've got different approaches in my mind, for example: 1. Creating a list of monuments with coordinates for Google Maps, even though I don't know if it's possible. Maybe it could also work with Google Earth. 2. The other way is creating maps with OpenStreetMap and, with a program, add the different locations. You can see an example at http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuari:Joancreus/Location_maps. Unfortunately, this would require thousands of maps to achieve a decent quality, and, depending on the number, many labels couldn't be read. Help would be appreciated from people who worked with the project last year, in the Netherlands, or have other ideas. Some pointers: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikilovesmonuments/2011-January/000011… and http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/toolserver-l/2011-February/003889.html I found your lists of monuments at http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Llistes_de_monuments and the template at http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantilla:Filera_BC_Sard Looks good, just one thing now: Could you please use decimal notation for the latitude and longitude?
