@dunkelstern
It wraps 3D sceneries (elevation, buildings, cityfurnitures, ...) and adds semantics (e.g. this are roof faces).

There is a existing ecosystem e.g. NASA #worldwind viewer, DB schemas, tile servers etc. but there is no way to translate OSM data to this 3D GIS world -.- Would be great benefit and fill a gap.
