→ GBIF Geocoder: using GBIF to find places on a map
https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2026/02/gbif-geocoder-using-gbif-to-find-places.html“The idea behind the "GBIF Geocoder" is that GBIF has a huge number of geocoded specimens, and hence if you are looking for coordinates for a locality there is a good chance that somebody has already found them. So, all we need to do is search GBIF for specimens with localities that match the place you are trying to geocode.”

En Afrique du Sud, des « adresses numériques » pour cartographier les bidonvilles
Lawley Station, à 40 km au sud de #Johannesburg. Sur ce plateau aride, des milliers de cabanes de tôle forment une masse compacte, dans laquelle serpente un dédale de ruelles de terre battue. Ce jour-là, elles sont investies par des jeunes du quartier revêtus de tenues jaune fluorescent. Par petits groupes, ils s’affairent à mesurer l’écart entre chaque portail donnant sur un groupement de cabanes. (...)
« Ici c’est un lieu de culte. On essaie d’être le plus spécifique possible pour que les gens puissent se repérer. » Elle fait partie de la trentaine de volontaires recrutée par l’#ONG #Planact pour cartographier le quartier et attribuer une adresse à chaque propriété.
Planact, qui lutte depuis 1985 contre l'exclusion des populations vulnérables, a lancé ce programme d'adresses numériques avec le soutien de #Google. Le moteur de recherche fournit la plateforme permettant de recenser les habitations et de leur attribuer un « Plus code », soit des coordonnées géographiques simplifiées en une combinaison simple, utilisable sur Google Maps. Une plaque bleue indiquant le Plus code est ensuite apposée sur les habitations.

Curious about the accuracy of PostGIS' TIGER/Line geocoder? I was too!
Without filtering on the rating, 92% of addresses were within 250 meters of the OpenStreetMap geometry it came from! 🎉 🗺️ 🐘

The numerous geocoding systems vary in #granularity (#precision) achieved with a certain amount of letters, & in their audience or #community.
Above, I gave the example of #Maidenhead Locators (#QTH) commonly used by #HamRadio people.
Different cultures use different #geocode|s for reasons.
AFAIC, it would allianate communities to single out a particular system & mark it as ›general‹ by using a prefix like ›#GEO‹.
Platforms should #welcome & represent a variety of cultures.

Btw, #normalization of #georeference|s is not trivial, because it requires techniques called #InstanceMatching.
It's an entire field of ongoing research.

I take it for granted that users must be able to decide upon the precision of the #geocoding they use for their postings.
And that they must also be able to decide upon the geogaphic range of search when they lookup #georef|erenced postings.

The location property of the #ActivityVocabulary does not only support exact locations but also areas in the sense that it allows for ›logical locations‹.
A logical location could be ›near Berlin«, but also a #geocode with reduced precision.

Relax, no one is seeking to re-invent any wheel.
This thread is more about usability than it is about implementation.
No one can make use of #semantic properties in a vocabulary as long as they do not show up in frontends.
So, rather than deter consideration, let's keep the dialogue going.

After some testing, it would be worth to consider #geocoding of postings as a #FeatureRequest to #Fediverse developers, preferably not as #hashtag but as a separate property of postings, like #ContentWarning:
CW is implemented using the #abstract property of #ActivityPub.
To create a CW when boosting a #Friendica posting on #Mastodon, the author uses [abstract] markup in the Friendica posting.
Similar may be possible for #geocode|s.

It also sprang to my mind this second. :))
I removed the middot which I used for better #readability. It's hard to enter on a smartphone, too.
Now I dropped middot as well as underscore, because that saves at least one character in toots with #geocode. :)
A #geocoding #hashtag will be hard to digest for people using #screenreader|s, though.
