@liaizon OSM annotation layer? I have some #WebXR explorations for that https://git.benetou.fr/utopiah/CEREMA and some federated experience https://git.benetou.fr/utopiah/text-code-xr-engine/src/branch/federation thanks to Immers (with own instance).

It could make for a fun AR prototype.

CEREMA

Experience results from numerical simulations by the CEREMA in 2 locations in France. Build on OpenStreetMap, IGN data and AFrame for WebXR support.

@utopiah yeah I mean it would def be ontop of OSM, but I guess having some permission system and an interface to link a AP object to a lat/long

@liaizon I specifically worked on location for Immers and it was pose rather than lat/lon but definitely could be converted first, so an annotation collection (in the ActivityPub parlance) might make sense as you’d trust your friends.

@liaizon
I guess you are aware of the assignment for Clemens from fedicamp (the Fuck Uber thing).

latitude / longitude etc. are core properties https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-latitude

Then we use the describes property to say what place on wikidata/OSM …

The interface to link a AP object to a lat/long can be geojson where we also store the polygon from OSM relation.

On top of that I am converting the well known administrative Places to a DB with AP Objects which gives us tons of infos about e.g. the City or Country where the address is.
It includes also wikibase article links to read while waiting for your ride.
For missing OSM mapping it includes a console mapping step done by “1 human” atm ;)

addendum;
yay. Screenshoted is file no. 100.000 :)
The real heavy part is the mapping from wikidata if the Place is between Country and City cause of wkd:P31 :) but anyway, this is what I do since 2 days and the benefit that we get all the well known places of Planet Earth finally mapped between wikipedia/wikidata/osm is too tempting and basically it is quick with the console.
It looks for lat/lng on wiki then if it doesn't have OSM reverses it with OSM nominatim giving cities and districts (countries all done) and does a query by name to add to the list. Weird but ok.
