Agree with ref:GB:uprn and ref:GB:usrn.

Yes we do need to understand the data. If a usrn is given to a road, then the road is extended is the extension included in the original usrn or given a new usrn. Plenty of scope for decisions when using in OSM.

Having had a quick look at USRN data, it appears that roads may have
more than one USRN, as a road may have more than one of 'Designated
Street Name', 'Officially Described Street', 'Numbered Street' and
'Unofficial Street Name'. In addition to this, some streets appear to
have a UPRN for the 'street record'.

ref:UK:uprn and ref:UK:usrn

have been suggested as tags - I think this is the way to go.


There is also Key:ref:NPLG:UPRN:1 in the wiki.


Question: Should uprn be applied to the building outline or to a node?

The OS data applies them as nodes, they are assigned by local
authorities to a location as a node.

The uprn is applied to many objects even bus shelters, and individual
flats within a block; there may be what appear to be duplicates.

I suggest that for OSM buildings or building parts which are
individually linkable to a uprn then the uprn is assigned to the
building way outline; otherwise to an OSM node if the mapper deems
appropriate
