Hi!
I’m looking https://atgeo.org while working on my new site where I’m collecting and sharing out data around standup comedy. While putting this together, there have been a few things that I’d like to use ATGeo for that don’t yet seem available.
- Search assumes you search per each collection, where collections are one of OSM, 4SQ, or Overture. I’d like to be able to search for a place regardless of collection, then maybe see a scored or ordered list of results. e.g. Searching “the comedy store” or “the comedy store West Hollywood, CA” could give me the record that associates to the 4SQ, OSM, & Overture ID
- As an app that plans to have venue’s “claim” their location, I’d like to support some ATProto native way to endorse the correctness of location data. Or to correct it.
From a high level, it seems like the approach of ATGeo is to mirror existing data sources and give them records. For my purposes at least, this doesn’t seem super useful? (I could be missing something here)
What would be super useful and interesting from my POV is if we joined the 3 data sources somehow, and created our an ATProto derivation of the combined set that could position itself as a successor. This is what I think would exist from putting together #1 and #2 along with some continuous reading in from the other 3 sources + merging logic.
