Using Wikidata and OpenStreetMap
summary
Wikidata supplies 8 billion statements about ~100 million items plus ~60 million media files; OpenStreetMap provides roughly 60GB of spatial data (billions of nodes, ways and relations) with detailed tags for things like opening hours, power plug types and accessibility. Two access patterns appear: fast single-item APIs (millisecond autocompletion) and heavy SPARQL/Overpass queries (seconds–minutes). Data can be bundled offline or queried online, requires complying with ODbL license, and raises privacy and server-cost tradeoffs; KDE’s onmapsKD backend shows 24‑hour upstream freshness.
