Proximap is a responsive web app for finding nearby public infrastructure, and uses drinking fountains as a showcase example. It is developed alongside two other projects:
- datablue, a backend for collecting, merging, and serving federated fountain data.
- import2wikidata, a tool for importing fountain datasets into wikidata.
Because the projects are being developed in parallel, the development timeline of all projects are entangled.
- End July 2018 - datablue: implement batch fountain collection and merging from OSM
- multilingual-capable
- accomodate for multiple conflicting property values
- scheduled update / force update endpoint
- End August 2018 - proximap: adapt data management to new data structure, display this information in the app
- multilingual-capable
- handle missing data: either default values, hide the property, or call to action
- link back to original data
- links to Wikipedia and Wikimedia pages
- button to force update of all data
- End September 2018 - datablue: force update for individual fountain
- create a query and merge function based on QID or OSM entity ID
- update API endpoint
- End September 2018 - proximap: allow single fountain to be updated dynamically
- local database update
- refresh displayed data
- End September 2018 - import2wikidata: create bot
- only overwrite existing values in Wikidata, if those values were previously entered by a bot.
