I'm also wondering if we want to add some kind of reference to<br>
the ID from CRAB.<br>

I'm not in favour of keeping external id's in OSM, the address itself<br>
should be the id and you cannot rely on it staying on the map because<br>
anyone can remove it.<br>

I was just thinking about how to keep in sync with their database,<br>
and to try and find out which points are mapped and which are not.<br>
<br>
I'm also considering trying to do a full import and merging<br>
existing nodes / houses with their data and things like that. I<br>
would actually like to mostly automate importing updates comming<br>
from them. I think that at some point we will at least need a way<br>
to see see the difference between the 2, and having a direct<br>
relation betweem them could make things easier.<br>

Yup, you'll need a foreign key if you want to manage that automatically. I aggree. If not you could endup merging the same stuff all over again. Or worse, delete old nodes and create new ones, enlarging the changesets.<br>
<br>
But I would caution for doing an automagical full import and merge unless you're doing only for the referenced stuff, but new data and merged I would stll want to review it. I've hardly ever had this sort of database migration work at the first attempt....<br>
<br>
Now lets hope someone at CRAB isn't planning on doing the same but in the other direction ;-) , I keep wondering what kind of feedback loop that would create....<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
