Hi Brian, cc: talk-gb where there is an ongoing discussion about prow ref. I want to use this post to highlight that even the local authorities are not internally consistent.
Good to see you on Thursday. As discussed I will start with Stratford upon avon district (admin level 8) rights of way: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/176449 I'm not sure if I will add the prow_ref as I'm not so sure it has much value given that they are not signed on the ground. I also don't know what code to add. Nick has it showing the Parish name/code, then a space, then the ref. I think this is just a copy from Barry's rowmaps datasets. In the Warwickshire data Barry has, it is a parish code (e.g. 214). This gives values such as "214 SS92/1". A quick check of the prow map that Warwickshire CC put online (scanned map), they only show the "SS92" part. In my WCC data (which I think is an earlier version that they released prior to Robert W forcing them to make it OGL), the parishes are listed by names. As an example, for one way I have these key=value pairs: - ID_NO=SS92 - Type=BR - DIST_BOR=Stratford-upon-Avon District - Parish=Long Compton There is also a way with the exact same details, except Parish=Little Compton. There are also 3 cases (AE103, AE56 and AL24) where the same ID_NO is both a bridleway and a footpath! No ID_NOs have any "/1" or similar (although we do have letters, such as "SS92a"). I wonder if this was introduced automatically by computer software which needed the ID_NO column to be a unique key. In which case the addition of "/1", "/2" etc is unknown/unofficial to the council. Given all this, and the fact that the council don't seem to be very consistent with their own data, I propose either: - Adding just the ID_NO (e.g. SS92) - Or following the wiki advise *(parish name, two-letter type abbreviation, path number without leading zeros)* (e.g. Long Compton BR SS92). What do you plan to add? Thanks, *Rob*
