For now I've side stepped this problem. If you look at an institution like a hospital, university or school you'll often find multiple buildings, some might include a name and be tagged amenity=hospital/university/school. If my code spots two or more nearby items with the correct tags and matching names it skips them, so I don't have to deal with multiple OSM items having the same wikidata tag. I can also detect if there are two nearby items with the same name but different tagging. I found an article on Wikipedia that was in the categories for bridge and monument. In OSM we have a 'way' to represent the bridge and a 'node' in the middle of the bridge for the monument. I skip these as well, there are just over 200 of them. -- Edward. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
