Hi,
I'm of the view that using a standard format would be rather unlikely
to result in confusion in correspondence with the LA, but am equally
happy with using the LA's version. Some thoughts:
1. We definitely shouldn't attempt to amend the definitive map
'parish' to correspond to modern civil parish boundaries. That could
cause problems.
Could you clarify what you mean by "modern civil parish boundaries".
2. A standardized format could make it easier for data consumers to
utilise the tagged information.
I believe all LAs (admin_level=6) and parishes (admin_level=10) have
been added so the 'standardised' as described on the wiki contains no
unique data that can't be retrieved from within osm.
3. There often isn't consistency of formatting in official usage. What
might appear on the definitive statement as 'Wiggington Bridleway
No.7', might appear in orders as 'Bridleway number 7 in the Parish of
Wiggington' and on the open data GIS files as 'Wiggington BW 7'
I see that as an internal LA problem & I'm not convinced adding another
variation within OSM will help.
As long as the format issued under OGL is used, I don't see a problem.
4. A minority of authorities number different categories of RoW
separately, so a parish may contain both a footpath 1 and a bridleway
1. If we do standardize a format, including the category seems a good
way of ensuring we don't end up with duplicate prow_refs in such parishes.
5. It would be preferable to use the established acronym BOAT for
Byway Open to All Traffic, rather than BY as suggested in the Wiki
From my OP:
* path abbreviations are unnecessary as their classifications are
already defined in other OSM tags (highway & designation)
------
We haven't unified other references countrywide; such as fhrs:ids & C
roads, or internationally, such as Motorways/Autobahns.
