Re: [Talk-GB] Geospatial Commission to release UPRN/ UPSN identifiers under Open Government Licence

For me, the convincing argument is not ease of querying; the convincing argument is essentially namespacing. "uprn" and "usrn" are rather generic initialisms, and I don't see any useful reason for our uk/gb project to claim the "meaning" of ref:uprn or ref:usrn within OSM's tag namespace. I

It would seem to be "rather" unlikely that such reference ids would be named UPRN and UPSN outside of the UK to start with, so a more generic building_ref, street_ref or similar would be likely more sensible (if there is any value at all in mapping these). And yes similar concepts exist outside of
