Agree with -
My preference was for ref:GB:uprn and ref:GB:usrn,
Can we put onto the Wiki as placeholders and ask people to refrain from
changes until agreement on how best to use them and apply a source
reference.
I'm thinking that the data may be more accurate than our existing
methods allow, so what will be policy of updating OSM data with new
shapes from INSPIRE.

Looks like 1 July will be a big open data release day. Not only do we get the
USRN and UPRN data, but the land registry data will also be released:

Should we attempt to coordinate something to prevent a mixture of uses across
those OSMers who may want to do something with this date?
I'm not sure about the INSPIRE polygons, but for USRNs and UPRNs, I'd
imagine it will be useful to add these identifiers to the appropriate
OSM objects. (I can see doing this being very useful in terms or
measuring completeness in OSM, and finding missing streets/properties
to add.) To that end, we should agree on a tagging to use for these
references. I started a conversation at
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2020-April/024383.html
about this. My preference was for ref:GB:uprn and ref:GB:usrn, though
I think there were some people arguing for the simpler ref:uprn and
ref:usrn.
Does anyone have any details of the specifications of the UPRN, USRN
or INSPIRE releases? For example, I'm assuming we won't get the
addresses with the UPRNs, just the coordinates, but will they be
linked to streets (via USRNs) and will each include a type/class? Will
we get street names with the USRNs? For the INSPIRE polygons will we
just get the INSPIRE ID, or will it be linked to LAnd Registry title
numbers or UPRNs?
(Depending on exactly what we get, it could be very useful for adding
and checking postcodes. e.g. if we have all the UPRNs that are tied to
a single USRN, and we know there's only one postcode centroid on any
of them, it's a good bet those properties all have the same postcode.)
Robert.
