I'm not sure about the INSPIRE polygons, but for USRNs and UPRNs, I'd imagine it will be useful to add these identifiers to the appropriate OSM objects. (I can see doing this being very useful in terms or measuring completeness in OSM, and finding missing streets/properties to add.) To that end, we should agree on a tagging to use for these references. I started a conversation at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2020-April/024383.html about this. My preference was for ref:GB:uprn and ref:GB:usrn, though I think there were some people arguing for the simpler ref:uprn and ref:usrn. Does anyone have any details of the specifications of the UPRN, USRN or INSPIRE releases? For example, I'm assuming we won't get the addresses with the UPRNs, just the coordinates, but will they be linked to streets (via USRNs) and will each include a type/class? Will we get street names with the USRNs? For the INSPIRE polygons will we just get the INSPIRE ID, or will it be linked to LAnd Registry title numbers or UPRNs? (Depending on exactly what we get, it could be very useful for adding and checking postcodes. e.g. if we have all the UPRNs that are tied to a single USRN, and we know there's only one postcode centroid on any of them, it's a good bet those properties all have the same postcode.)
