<p>Hey,<br>
<br>
It came into my mind to get IETF to standardize a parameter
explicitly linking to osm objects with their corresponding type
and id.<br>
<br>
The 'geo' URI scheme is standardized as <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5870">RFC 5870</a> with
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5870#section-6">examples
of usage</a>. It allows us to link to geospatial ressources from
web pages or applications supporting URI schemes in general. It
allows (web) developers to direct their users to their map browser
of use e.g, Organic Maps, Google Maps, Apple Maps, ... The
official osm.org makes use of this specification in the "share"
feature already. Currently it only supports linking to geospatial
ressources by their coordinates and not some id. As OpenStreetMap
is playing an important part in the geospatial world, the OSMF
should try to get IETF convinced.<br>
<br>
See registered URI parameters in the 'geo' URI scheme:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.iana.org/assignments/geo-uri-parameters/geo-uri-parameters.xhtml">'geo'
URI Parameters registry at IANA.org</a></p>
<p>Our own parameter could have the following syntax:<br>
</p>
<pre>osmid=(N|W|R)<osm id></pre>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>What do you think?</p>
<p>Greetings</p>
