Enrich Wikimedia with OpenStreetMap and vice versa. The application was implemented to #hack4no thank you to Wikimedia Norge Wikistipend. Please, also see #hack4no submission for further info.
Both OpenStreetMap and Wikimedia have openness as their philosophy. Also, Wikimedia content such as Wikipedia articles often can and have been improved with maps. Recently, OpenStreetMap have gained more attention in Wikimedia developer community because it allows interaction with the maps that static map images have not allowed.
The main idea of the prototype application is to allow user to edit OpenStreetMap and Wikimedia together. For example, the aim is to allow users to add Wikidata tags to the OpenStreetMap elements. Also, adding coordinates, for example, to Wikidata items is useful. Currently the prototype does not allow editing the real Wikimedia and OpenStreetMap sites, but viewing of the information is possible as well as making "fake edits". Also, other open data from various Nordic countries such as platsr.se, apis.is and Flickr is shown to the user. This information is also useful when doing the OpenStreetMap and Wikimedia edits. Finally, the application can show Wheelmap.org places. Wheelmap.org helps to add information of wheelchair accessibility to OpenStreetMap. While editing OpenStreetMap and Wikimedia, why not consider also disabled people?
The application is currently a mobile prototype built on top of the ionic framework. There is also a server that was needed to fetch data from some of the open data sources. Also, the server is needed for posting the data, for example, to Wikimedia when the author of the edits should be known.
To run in a web browser:
- Install ionic framework (v1) as described at: http://ionicframework.com/getting-started/.
git clone https://github.com/ernoma/WikiOSMark.gitcd WikiOSMarknpm installionic state restoreionic serve
To run in a mobile phone, again follow the documentation at http://ionicframework.com/.
To use some of the features, you also need to install the WikiOSMark-server.
You will also need to acquire API keys for OSM dev site (http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org - My Settings -> OAuth settings),
for Flickr (https://www.flickr.com/services/apps/create/apply/), for Mapillary (https://www.mapillary.com/app/settings/developers) and
for Wheelmap.org (https://wheelmap.org/en/profile/edit).
The keys are placed into oauth_prototype_data.js that is placed into www/data-directory.
The contents of the file should be following (with your keys and tokens):
var osm_oauth_data = {
oauth_consumer_key: 'YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY',
oauth_secret: 'YOUR_SECRET',
url: 'http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org',
landing: 'osm_landing.html',
}
var flickr_api_data = {
key: 'YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY',
secret: 'YOUR_SECRET'
}
var mapillary_api_data = {
clientID: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
client_secret: 'YOUR_SECRET'
}
var wheelmap_api_data = {
auth_token: 'YOUR_TOKEN'
}
