Proprietary stuff (to reimplement!)
- Wikimapia
- http://www.schwen.de/wiki/GMap (while GMap itself is GPL, the embedded maps, from Google Maps, are proprietary)
- http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/vocabularies/tgn/ - text only, but very well presented information - a free version of this would be a great start (then worry about maps later)
