A link to the person could be made, however that seems a little specific to OpenPlaques. Following just the plaque ID should take you to the personal links. I'm not sure how / if anywhere in OSM objects are linked to people. I suspect this would mainly be for historical interest. I would suggest the canonical link would be to the relevant Wikipedia page. Interesting OpenPlaques use OSM via Mapquest for the places overview (eg http://openplaques.org/places/gb/areas/portsmouth) However for the individual plaques they use Google Maps. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
