<div>Hi all<br>
<br>
I thought this might interest some of you. The Welsh
Government's new mapping platform Data Map Wales (used for
publishing and sharing public geo data) now has an optional
base layer entirely in Welsh. This is largely based on OSM
data (with some additional names from Wikidata. <br>
<br>
Data Orchard CIC supplies the data to the platform though
our Mapio Cymru project. Welsh Government creates its own
tiles. We originally looked at serving tiles from
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://openstreetmap.cymru">https://openstreetmap.cymru</a> but, of course, Welsh Government
use a different projection so this caused some distortion.<br>
<br>
They take data via Mapio Cymru rather than from OSM directly
because we apply some additional rules and bring in names
from Wikidata where appropriate. This also means that as we
improve Welsh name identification they'll get the benefit of
that.<br>
<br>
We'll be publishing a blog post about it today at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://mapio.cymru">https://mapio.cymru</a> and there's an online article about it
at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://nation.cymru/news/users-of-digital-mapping-platform-can-now-visualise-wales-entirely-in-cymraeg/">https://nation.cymru/news/users-of-digital-mapping-platform-can-now-visualise-wales-entirely-in-cymraeg/</a><br>
