Thanks all for the helpful responses. I'll explore using the Overpass API and its "permanent ID" feature [1] for now. I do tend to agree with Joost that it makes sense for OSM to have a policy for external identifiers -- even if the threshold is not one that this project can meet yet. :)
It'll be a couple of months before I have something OSM-related to show. If you're interested in following the project in the meantime, here's a few links: * GitHub repo: https://github.com/eloquence/lib.reviews * Dev diary: https://lib.reviews/team/6bfc0390-e218-4cb7-a446-2046cb886435 * Discussion list: http://www.freelists.org/list/lib.reviews * IRC: #lib.reviews on FreeNode (my bouncer is always online, so you can leave me messages there) And if you want to play with the current state and need an invite code, give me a shout off-list. Thanks again -> re-lurking, Erik [1] https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API/Permanent_ID _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
