[Mediawiki-l] Extension idea

[aretai aretai]

Hi,

Maybe instead of openlayers you could simply use google maps and grab the
google map extension - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Google_Maps.
Unless you really do want to have everything open source...

Rest is just Semantic Mediawiki extension I think
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_MediaWiki then probably
semantic triple would look like (location - New York, what - store, house,
extra info (2 bedrooms, etc.) or just a link to google map with marker -
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Google_Maps/Syntax#Markers).

Is it it? or are you looking for sth diff.?

Regards,
Aretai
