[OSM-talk] OSM relation ID property in Wikidata

Do they have something like a persistent ID in wikidata, yet?
Do you want to add dozens of wikidata-tags (or a comma separated value
or something like that), if more than one wikidata-element matches the
osm element.
Let's see this example: A building that was a merchants kontor a few
hundret years ago, and now contains a museum and a restaurant, while in
between it was - let's say - a hospital). The architect was a famous
person, too, and it's named by a third person.

So that osm element (building building would be referenced out of
wikidata from:
- the merchant's person page (his office)
- the museum's page
- the restaurant's page
- the hospital's page
- the architect's page
- the page of the person where the name of the building comes from

Which "ID" should be added to OSM here?
Is that really useful?

Wikidata seems to collect a lot of these links, including wiki-pages
(even in different languages) and so on, so wikidata in fact is built
around maintaining foreign references (at least it looks like that),
while OSM is definitively not (yet).

Perhaps look into the overpass-permanent-ID solution for that.
