Placeopedia was an online gazetteer (unavailable as of July 2012) which integrates Google Maps images (including satellite photos) and Wikipedia encyclopedia articles using user-generated content. Placeopedia was constructed by UK-based mySociety and started in September 2005. Users could place a 'pin' on a location on a map (at an appropriate zoom level) associated with a relevant article from the English Wikipedia for that location.

dbpedia-owl:abstract
  • Placeopedia war eine Internet-Anwendung, die Google Maps (Satellitenfotos) und Wikipedia-Artikel verband. Das Projekt war von September 2005 bis Mai 2011 verfügbar. Placeopedia war ein Wiki. Nutzer konnten eine Nadel auf einer geeigneten Zoomstufe der Karte platzieren und mit einem einschlägigen Wikipedia-Artikel verlinken. Jeder Nutzer, der anschließend diesen Kartenteil aufsuchte, sah dann die entsprechenden Wikipedia-Links und den Namen des Benutzers, der die Nadel platziert hatte. Die Informationen konnte man auch in Google Earth ansehen mit Hilfe von KML, sogenannten Network Links. Placeopedia bot auch Daten unter der Creative-Commons-Lizenz.
  • Placeopedia was an online gazetteer which integrates Google Maps images (including satellite photos) and Wikipedia encyclopedia articles using user-generated content. Placeopedia was constructed by UK-based mySociety and started in September 2005. Users can place a 'pin' on a location on a map (at an appropriate zoom level) associated with a relevant article from the English Wikipedia for that location. Then when anyone views the map, links to the Wikipedia entries associated with each pin are visible, as well as the user name of who added the pin. Corrections can be filed, to be reviewed by Placeopedia staff. The information can also be viewed in Google Earth: a view-based refreshing KML file is provided. The site also provides syndicated data under the Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons license. You can download the entire contents of the database in a variety of formats. Initially the site required users to sign up with an email address in order to contribute information, and no bulk download of the database was available, but this has since changed. Since the launch of Placeopedia, several separate projects started which provide Google Earth links to Wikipedia articles but make direct use of coordinates in articles and so do not require additional user input.
