Candidates are Geonames, Wiki/DBpedia, Worldfactbook, OpenResearch [1] etc. Such interlinkages fit also very well into the OSM data model (which is very close to RDF in many aspects). Basically everybody can start creating links between the data sources by either using http://LinkedGeoData.org/browser or via OSM's REST API (any other OSM editor will do as well). Right now we are busy creating an complete RDF dump and setting up the bi-directional live syncronization between LinkedGeoData.org and OSM. So feel free to create mappings and store them in OSM's DB via its API. They will then also show up automatically on LinkedGeoData.org.
