Big news for Who’s On First gazetteer: new data license proposed and preview of coming attractions!⁩ /cc ⁦Who's On First⁩ whosonfirst.org/blog/2018/08/2…

how and why we are using who’s on first at SFO Museum / complete with openly licensed architectural data over time – millsfield.sfomuseum.org/blog/2018/08/2…

“for example, @sfomuseum has the notion of “null terminal” for these sorts of data” – github.com/whosonfirst-da…

Who's On First Please see discussion at wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:…

“we’ve added a random airport link so you can dive in with both feet and see where the computer-robots take you” – millsfield.sfomuseum.org/blog/2018/10/3…

✨ Jeff Triplett ✨ Who's On First It won't surprise you to know that I have a Datasette instance with some of it :) whosonfirst-metadata-only.now.sh/whosonfirst-me…

who’s on first has gotten big enough that we need to make some changes to the way are publishing administrative data and the details are here – whosonfirst.org/blog/2019/05/0…

Stacey Maples @[email protected] 🇺🇦🏴‍☠️@bsky.social 🇺🇦🏴‍☠️ Docker Who's On First @kgeographer A super quick blog post about some things jack-reed.com/2019/04/29/who… would really appreciate your thoughts.. and a proof of concept demo searchworks-ld.stanford.edu/?f%5Bgeographi…

Stephen Epps megawrote a megablog post about updating all the “megacities” in Who's On First – whosonfirst.org/blog/2021/02/1…

“Have you ever wanted to be able to reverse-geocode a point not just in space but also in time? Have you ever wanted to do that date-filtering with fuzzy or imprecise dates encoded using the Extended DateTime Format (EDTF) ? Now you can.” – millsfield.sfomuseum.org/blog/2021/03/2…

Jonas Heide Smith @smkmuseum I ran all of your data through some tools that @sfomuseum has been working on / and now all of those coordinates have multiple Who's On First identifers as well – github.com/sfomuseum/smk-…

I wrote a blog post / about updating @sfomuseum ’s javascript-webassembly EXIF writer to encode GPS coordinates / and then tested the results by uploading them to @flickr / and then used those photos to test the Who's On First reverse geocoding tools – millsfield.sfomuseum.org/blog/2021/04/2…

A first alpha release of go-pmtiles - a concurrent, caching proxy for PMTiles archives on disk or S3 It's a single dependency-free binary, run it on your micro instance to use PMTiles with any map renderer or legacy system "as little server as possible" github.com/protomaps/go-p…

“There’s a database for geocoding, a database for reverse-geocoding and a database for cartographic representations. Each of these databases is necessary and this is one of the reasons why applications that involve “geography” can be so complicated.” – millsfield.sfomuseum.org/blog/2021/05/0…

the rules and requirements around exporting Who's On First documents can be a bit fiddly / so I built a handy webassembly “export_feature” binary to make things a little easier in the javascripts – github.com/whosonfirst/go…

thanks to Peter Sanford ’s work to implement sqlite-over-http virtual filesystems in Go all the work that SFO Museum has been doing around reverse-geocoding now supports remotely hosted static databases / see also millsfield.sfomuseum.org/blog/2021/03/2… and github.com/whosonfirst/go…

did you know that the SFO Museum aviation collection website publishes IIIF manifests for all its objects and that when an object is associated with an airport we include a pointer to that airport’s Who's On First record using the shiny new “navPlace” extension / now you do

“Our burden, I think, will be to live in the interim working towards that better world…” – whosonfirst.org/blog/2018/02/2…

the documentation is a little choppy / and it’s missing a long-and-twisty blog post / and I am about to step away from the computer / but the who’s on first point-in-polygon server now holds hands and plays nicely with spatialite databases – github.com/whosonfirst/go…
