[OSM-talk] OSM relation ID property in Wikidata

[Andreas Labres]

Tim,

There are problems with WIWOSM that aren't solved at all...

Example: Historic monuments in Austria. They are all covered in Wikipedia, but
mostly only in Lists. And they do have a distinguishable objectID, but I can't
really state this in OSM.

For instance:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/207854465 ist such a historic monument
with objectID 25020.
It can be found in Wikipedia here:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_denkmalgesch%C3%BCtzten_Objekte_in_Wien/Penzing#objektid-25020

So I can only state the tag
   wikipedia:de = Liste der denkmalgeschützten Objekte in
Wien/Penzing#objektid-25020

This has the effect that the link in OSM doesn't work (because OSM adds a
userlang parameter behind the anchor reference which I consider a bug of OSM
[did already report it]).

And also WIWOSM can't reference the distict object. Though it seems to be able
to reference some of the "Liste_der_denkmalgeschützten_Objekte_in_Wien/Penzing".
It can't do all because some of the objects do have their own wikipedia
entrance, for instance Mariarunn church:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/48434703
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfarr-_und_Wallfahrtskirche_Mariabrunn

So what would be necessary is that wikipedia and OSM would agree on some kind of
generic ID, which could in the case of historic monuments in Austria be some
/monument/AT/$objectID, e.g.

  /monument/AT/25020, which then would redirect to
 
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_denkmalgesch%C3%BCtzten_Objekte_in_Wien/Penzing#objektid-25020

whereas

  /monument/AT/24616 could redirect to
  http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfarr-_und_Wallfahrtskirche_Mariabrunn
