The type of answers that I want to
ask are: where are great places for breakfast / brunch in town? Which
restaurant has a patio that we can enjoy the spring sunshine on? What
restaurants are pouring great beer around town? So, the concept is simple: - Build
out restaurant data through manual input as well as mass import into
the Vancouver base on Freebase -- http://vancouver.freebase.com
- Make
a front end website in Drupal show strips of bacon in the morning,
patios in the afternoon, and beer at night - in the spirit of
Washington DC's http://stumblesafely.com
- Document the data
formats, APIs, and applications available so that anyone can import or
export the data, as well build their own front ends, widgets, etc.
