Guys, This sounds like a nice application. I think there is a general need for some type of POI database, even where you dont have the location yet. Streetname, town, general lists could be loaded and compared and linked to osm.. But where is this hotel data? I would like to see a sample. Can you

I've been thinking about how to handle maintenance of imports; so far osm has tended to import once and then just edit. My suggestion is to put whatever database primary key you use on the node, and to be able to look at the node and tell which import was done, which really means the internal dat
