When you think about it, it would be really cool when the results of a SMW query that results in geo data is presented in a map. At the moment there are two extensions to SMW that do just that; Semantic Layers and Google Geocoder.
Given that much of the primary functionality can be found in either extension, it should be possible to come up with something that would work for Open Street Map. Having support for both SMW and OSM would present a paradigm shift; it would make it easy to mesh Wikipedia in the big data world.
Thanks,

Actually, the second extension that supports displaying queried points in a map is not Google Geocoder but Semantic Google Maps. But the plan is to overhaul these by the end of the summer anyway...
Oops, that last comment was by me.
