Hello Neil and all,
An increasing number of wiki pages use the
{{Mapit-AUS-suburbscale|long=151.21459|lat=-33.87531}}
Type notation to indicate the page relates to a specific location.
Where would I go to request that this information is also embedded into a meta tag for the page e.g.
<meta name="ICBM" content="-33.87531,151.21459" />
So capable browsers/search engines can use this information more semantically ?
One option would be to use the "Semantic MediaWiki" [1] extension and simply annotate the template. Then each page has a link in its header to an RDF file containingthe information.
A sample of such an annotated page is at http://wiki.ontoworld.org/index.php?title=Bundeena%2C_New_South_Wales
- it looks exactly as always (but has a header link to RDF). The trick is in the tempate: http://wiki.ontoworld.org/index.php/Template:Geolinks-AUS-suburbscale
and the result is this RDF: <!-- exported page data --> <smw:Thing rdf:about="&thing;Bundeena-2C_New_South_Wales"> rdfs:labelBundeena, New South Wales</rdfs:label> <smw:hasArticle rdf:resource="&wikiurl;Bundeena%2C_New_South_Wales"/> <rdfs:isDefinedBy rdf:resource="&wikiurl;Special:ExportRDF/Bundeena%2C_New_South_Wales"/> <attribute:Longitude rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#decimal%22%3E151.15406</attribute:Longitude> <attribute:Latitute rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#decimal%22%3E-34.08806</attribute:Latitute> </smw:Thing>
Does this help?
