[Tagging] Personal Keys for WikiProject, Survey Data for Import

[Marc Gemis]

The answers you will receive will fall in the following categories

- it's OK to use the ID you propose.
- OSM is not an storages for external IDs, the external DB should link to
OSM objects
- use wikipedia / wikidata links

and no agreement will be reached :-) But that's OSM.
