The official lists from Austria do also not have an unique identifier,
but we solved that problem. We just asked our national monument
department and after some talks the sent us their identifiers. So we are
now able to update our data yearly. Have you tried to talk to them Andrea?

Dear WLM list,
we are preparing the db for the list of monuments,
and we'd like to know how you faced the issue of generating an unique
identifier
when you had to do that (because the official list didn't have it).
- is it useful (for some reason) to generate a "meaningful",
"well-constructed" identifier (which can be resolved by a particular
algorythm?)
Be very careful with this as this borders

A combination of municipality and address is probably unique and could
be used as identifier. It's weak, but probably just strong enough.
