Is there any way to collect data from wikipedia (zoos for example) and create features from it here? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_zoos then get the coordintaes, create points, data! Just a thought
Wikipedia is a little bit messy and unstructured because it has so many collaborators who do not agree on anything. For some narrow topic data sets I would look for a global union/community/association/ etc. I guess there should be some lists for zoos out there, that are more structured than wikipedia and that are freely available.
