We are starting work on the next phase of importing addresses for the rest of the (King) county. We plan to use the latest address data from the county. Partly inspired by the work being done if NYC, the county is now publishing an record id for use in future updates. We want to incorporate this field into the import. But there doesn't seem to be a standardized tag for this id. For example, GNIS is gnis:id, tiger has another scheme and I believe NHD has another id.
Eric Fischer got me thinking when he was working on a tiger fix that we need to retain this data for future updates, even if we don't know how to do updates today. Rather than use kingcounty:id, shouldn't we have a consistent method of identifying tags that may be needed in the future? It's possible just using :id is sufficient. However, maybe something like update:id, although that has problems as well. Thoughts? -- Clifford OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch
