Hi all,
I have beem loooking at the wikipedia database scheme and I haven't found any field that suggest that some contents are geographical located. Am I wrong?
If it is possible I would like to download the geographical located contents of Wikipedia to do something similar to what googleearth does with the wikipedia layer Is that possible?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi Toni,
The geographical locations are stored in the article text, using templates, and not (yet) available in the main database, although I believe there is long term work planned to remedy this.
However, there is a project that parses and consolidates all this data across all wikipedia languages. The simplest way to get this data is to get a toolserver account, and to access the kolossus database on the Wikipedia Toolserver. See http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Georeferenzierung/Wikiped... for more detials.
Regards,
Neil
