I didn't actually mean everything in that sense, for example the nodes on a road don't all need unique IDs nor should they get them, but at the same time a single node might need 2 unique IDs, one for the building and one for the business occupying the building. In any case I think I mixed up 2 issues in the one email, that is assigning objects unique IDs and then distributing those unique IDs on stickers as a kind of PR/advertising exercise. To cover the first issue about using/assigning unique IDs against OSM objects, I've written a wiki page with some initial thoughts on the subject: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/UUID As for promotion, I'll leave that till UUIDs are sorted. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
