Geonames provides a [method](http://www.geonames.org/export/wikipedia-webservice.html#wikipediaSearch) to search nearby Wikipedia articles for a given place (lat / lng), we can use this info to propose DBPedia URIs and therefore tags in the tagcloud...

Extend the existing Geonames Service for looking up DBPedia URIs for given lat/lng.

Problem: this won't work with the current design. Proposals can only be made when a place is already known. Maybe we should keep the tags separate...
