I just had to update my example from 3 years ago because both source and website key have changed.
website: went to pretty url's instead of id's source: producer ID changed for unknown reason It's already hard to keep those up to date. If you start putting in volatile and variable data like products they sell, you have to keep them updated as well, which is a lot of work. I do not see a real benefit in saving that information in OSM at this point. The fact that you 'want' to do it does not count. the interwebs is made of URL's , defined as 'Uniform Resource Locator'. That is exactly what a product list is... it's a resource locator. We do it with wiki links and nobody bats an eye over it. We should really use links to the data instead of copies. Can I can a 'amen' now ? ;-) Glenn On 21-04-16 14:26, joost schouppe wrote: > Marc, while I do agree that we don't need to do everything, I haven't > seen many convincing reasons why not to do a certain thing.
