Hi all, There has been a release of some additional Ordnance Survey open data over in England, Wales and Scotland - specifically the Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) and Unique Street Reference Number (USRN). This has led to a question over how best to tag these values in OpenStreetMap.
Following a workshop at State of the Map, I have drafted proposal pages for ref:GB:uprn=* and ref:GB:usrn=*. There seems to be an increase in use of ISO two-letter country codes in ref tags, hence it's inclusion here. As it currently stands, the data release I am aware of covers only England, Wales and Scotland. However the UPRN and USRN allocation system is also in use in Northern Ireland (plus Isle of Man and the Channel Islands apparently). The link to the proposal page for the UPRN tag is linked to in the email below, whilst the USRN page is at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/ref:GB:usrn Please feel free to share any comments you may have on this proposal. Also if you are aware of open data access to the equivalent data for Northern Ireland, I would love to hear about this so that we can include links in the relevant wiki pages.

This page is now up online. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/ref:GB:uprn This is the first one of these I have done in a long time so hopefully I got it right. At this stage, please highlight any "red flags" that would prevent us from moving to the voting stage. Feel free to also edit the page directly, however I'm of the view that less is more in this case as it keeps it short for people to read and also reduces the chance that something is added that others do not agree with (which would be bad during the voting stage). If there are no red flags I will move for a vote. P.S. My thanks to Nick for drafting the initial text. P.P.S If anyone wants to start a page for USRN, please feel free to, otherwise I will attempt this later in the week. Best regards, *Rob* _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list Talk-ie@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
