The basic idea is to show streets from OpenStreetMap combined with data from the official Strassennamenverzeichnis and WikiData. Ideally new links on WikiData are created (e.g. add a "named after" claim to a street).

To load the data. a github action is run regularly and the data uploaded as artifact. These arrifacts are then downloaded to heroku.

Scripts

fetch_data.py

Script to load and combine the data from the Strassenverzeichnis (provided by Open Data Zurich), OpenStreetMap (via Overpass) and Wikidata. At the end of this script a file called data.pkl is generated, which is then used by the other scripts to load its data.

download_data_from_github.py

The fetch_data.py script above is run on GitHub Actions on a regular basis. This download script allows to download the data.pkl from the latest run on GitHub instead of generated the file itself.

update_osm.py

Script to apply the named after claims from Wikidata as name:etymology:wikidata tags to OpenStreetMap.

update_wikidata.py

Script to easily add 'named after' claims to Wikidata based on the user input.
