Re: [Talk-GB] UPRN wiki page

Good stuff. We are all learning here. And the raw data is deliberably obfuscated. Some of the UPRNs near road junctions are mysterious. They could be old IDs for objects since removed. Do we have a full list of what objects could be included? My personal opinion is that UPRNs never apply to a

Well-spotted. I've updated it to, "UPRNs provide every property or object with a consistent, persistent, numerical identifier (often between 8 and 12 digits, but not restricted to 12)". I know that you've been looking at UPRNs, so please add to the wiki page or discussions. On Tue, Nov 17, 2020
