@dw_innovation hi! Incidentally I gave two talks at CCC, one about advanced #OSM usage and one about #OSINT, which also features exactly what you're doing with this tool (using an example from one of Julia's quiztime posts ;) I regularly do this kind of research using overpass.

This tool sounds great! Are you aware there's a very similar tool from @Bellingcat? github.com/bellingcat/osm-sear

@dw_innovation The JOSM and iD presets are a good source for commong language to tag mapping. The Name Suggestion Index might also help.

Feel free to reach out via Mastodon or Email. You can find my address and the talks on my website.

Really looking forward to this tool! 2/2

@jomo @dw_innovation @Bellingcat Can you link your talks? I would be interested.

Some issues I could think of here is the use of ChatGPT, you would probably want this a little more in-house. Also to be dependable for OSINT, you would need some sort of fuzzy matching, where not all features are a must or could deviate from what you described. Lastly some sort of inclusion of historical changesets may be great, since places change all the time :)
