I've been looking at Durham records online (not available to download) they are recorded like below:
Status: BW Parish: Crook Path Number: 37 Path Ref Number: 0280000037 The long reference number identifies the Parish (first part) and the path number (last part) or I believe that's how it is made up from checking different areas. If sticking with one PROW code then I guess either prow_ref or prow:ref. I used prow_ref. If multiple codes are to be used then to my mind it would make sense to use. prow:ref prow:parish prow:authority On Fri, Jan 4, 2013 at 10:41 AM, Barry Cornelius <[email protected] > wrote: > On Mon, 31 Dec 2012 10:47:34 Steven Horner <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> I have followed the guidelines >> at http://wiki.openstreetmap.**org/wiki/United_Kingdom_** >> Tagging_Guidelines<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_Tagging_Guidelines> >> but >> should I tag the footpath with the local authority reference which would >> aid >> logging the path to the Council if problems like FixMyPaths, if so how? >> > > Although I cannot add anything useful to the discussion about prow:ref and > prow_ref, I do have some thoughts about the content of the tag. > > Often the data a council provides about a PROW includes duplication.
