[Talk-GB] Publishing a linked dataset

[Jez Nicholson]

Hi Martin,

So, it's your own route relation. Nice....myself, I would code something in
python to match using the OSM API so that it is easily rerunnable. Then I
would publish as geojson.

(Also, this is similar to the Slow Ways being discussed again in another
thread)
