    <p>Wikipedia is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotagging" rel="nofollow noreferrer">geotagging</a> a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aalborg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">lot</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Isles" rel="nofollow noreferrer">of</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent%27s_Cavern" rel="nofollow noreferrer">its</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aalborghus_Castle" rel="nofollow noreferrer">articles</a>. (Look in the top right corner of the page.)</p> <p>Is there any API for querying all <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Geographical_coordinates" rel="nofollow noreferrer">geotagged pages</a> within a specified radius of a geographical position?</p> <h3>Update</h3> <p>Okay, so based on lost-theory's answer I tried this (on <a href="http://dbpedia.org/snorql/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">DBpedia query explorer</a>):</p> <pre><code>PREFIX geo: &lt;http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#&gt; SELECT ?subject ?label ?lat ?long WHERE { ?subject geo:lat ?lat. ?subject geo:long ?long. ?subject rdfs:label ?label. FILTER(xsd:float(?lat) - 57.03185 &lt;= 0.05 &amp;&amp; 57.03185 - xsd:float(?lat) &lt;= 0.05 &amp;&amp; xsd:float(?long) - 9.94513 &lt;= 0.05 &amp;&amp; 9.94513 - xsd:float(?long) &lt;= 0.05 &amp;&amp; lang(?label) = "en" ). } LIMIT 20 </code></pre> <p>This is very close to what I want, except it returns results within a (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_property" rel="nofollow noreferrer">local</a>) square around the point and not a circle. Also I would like if the results where sorted based on the distance from the point. (If possible.)</p> <h3>Update 2</h3> <p>I am trying to determine the euclidean distance as an approximation of the true distance, But I am having trouble on squaring a number in SPARQL. (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1401401/power-in-sparql-and-other-math-functions">Question opened here</a>.) When I get something useful I will update the question, but in the meantime I will appreciate any suggestions on alternative approaches.</p> <h3>Update 3</h3> <p>A final update. I gave up on using SPARQL through DBpedia. I have written a simple parser which fetches the Wikipedia article text nightly database dump and parses all articles for geocodes. It works rather nicely and it allows me to store information about geotagged articles however I wish.</p> <p>This is probably the solution I will continue using, and if I get around to create a nice interface to it I might consider allowing public API access and/or publishing the source to the parser.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
