[OSM-dev] Fwd: OSM item tracking

[Alex Rollin]

Hi all,

was wondering if there are examples of using permanent ID tracking:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API/Permanent_ID

I've been mulling over how to do this for some time now.

My use case is:

a school district has a list of 15 schools.  They have all the updated
information.  They keep this information in a website to show to people, an
they want to share it in ISM and keep it updated in OSM.

How can they be notified of a change?

How would they make a change on their website and then sync that data back
over to OSM?

Thanks for any ideas or referenes.  Happy to read more.

One intermediary step I am working on now is pulling a bounding box for the
schools and identifying these schools by the combination of location and
tags and unique identifies lik the name.  If anyone has a current case like
this and would like to share some scripts for osmosis they would be most
welcome.

Alex
