I would look at putting what data you can (like population) into Wikidata; and adding to Wikidata the ID for each Townland, as mentioned by Cormac. Then add the Wikidata ID of each townland to the respective object in OSM, if not already present. I'd be happy to help you get to grips with doing that; not least by proposing the creation an ID property. For any data that does not fit in Wikidata, you can host a local implementation of its software, WikiBase, and refer to the respective Wikidata IDs in that, to cross-link the two databases. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
