Shane Coughlan; Tetsuo Noda; Yasumichi Hanagata

Data Twist is a project to help people use Open Data to make directories. It is a project that helps anyone create open versions of Yelp ™ or TripAdvisor ™. Data Twist acts a foundation for open directories by importing OpenStreetMap XML data into WordPress. Data Twist has a few dependencies. One is WordPress. Another is Geo Mashup, a plug-in that allows you to store geo-references with each WordPress post.
