[talk-au] Tagging Asset ID's (bridges as a priority)

[Phil Wyatt]

Hi Andrew,

 

I believe the ref key is the most commonly used for such reference numbers/tags etc

 

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ref

 

its certainly used for things like bus stops

Cheers - Phil

Hi All,

 

I've found an appropriate tag of bridge:name and have applied it to the bridge: https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Merimbula%20Lake%20Bridge

 

But I also know this bridge has an asset id of "BID7" for the asset owner. These asset id's are frequently referenced within the transport industry and I believe they would be beneficial to OSM.However, I can't see anyway of adding an ID to the bridge (or any other asset for that matter). 

 

Furthermore, being able to search by the asset id using nominatim would also be highly desirable - just as searching for the bridge name works a treat! So if there's any potential there it would be great.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance Andrew
