Session
As OpenStreetMap matures, volatile IDs hinder data integration. We propose the OSM Persistent ID Specification (OSMPID) to provide stable references for developers, the tourism sector, Wikidata and others. Serving as a community-driven alternative e.g. to the GERS-ID, we introduce an HTTP-based Object Identity Service prototype. This talk outlines the technical roadmap to empower reliable, long-term applications built on integrated open OSM location data.
