In this issue, it is investigated how to extract descriptions of points of interests from other platforms, for example from Wikipedia, since the "Description"-Key from OSM is hardly used. Besides, it can be considered to provide photos that can be extracted from a platform like Flickr.

Images are retrieved using the FourSquare API endpoints. The following GET commands are used: https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/search/* to match the POIs to Foursquare venues (through coordinates and name)

https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/VENUE_ID/photos/ * to get the photos of the venue
