I've looked into doing this in the past, but was going to scrape the page as I didn't realise that they had an XML Export tool. I'd be interested in a copy of the code too, if you're willing to share it? It'd save me rewriting it from scratch :) I'm working on a project that will use information from the <a href="http://openstreetmap.org" rel="nofollow">OpenStreetMap</a> project and pull it into the <a href="http://drupal.org" rel="nofollow">Drupal</a> content management framework. I'd like to be able to pull in a relevant Wikipedia snippet for places that have been tagged in OpenStreetMap with a link to their page on Wikipedia. Nice.

Any chance of sending me the PHP function so I can have a play around with it. I'm a .NET coder (I know, I know) so I'll try to convert your PHP to VB.NET if I can. James -
