Hi Geiserich,
Not yet,
in the sense we are in a weird situation:
* we still don't know if we can LEGALLY do WLM...
* we have lists scatttered all over the places. We are contacting
institutions and associations, and at the same time we are looking for
major lists (as, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage). We have found (3 days
ago...) one big list (around 120.000), which needs to be controlled. And we
should ask permission for that.
* it is likely we'll have many small lists with different metadata and
identifiers.

The official lists from Austria do also not have an
unique identifier, but
we solved that problem. We just asked our national monument department and
after some talks the sent us their identifiers. So we are now able to
update our data yearly. Have you tried to talk to them Andrea?
Best Michael

Dear WLM list,
we are preparing the db for the list of monuments,
and we'd like to know how you faced the issue of generating an unique
identifier
when you had to do that (because the official list didn't have it).
- is it useful (for some reason) to generate a "meaningful",
"well-constructed" identifier (which can be resolved by a particular
algorythm?)
Be very careful with this as this borders

A combination of municipality and address is probably unique and could be
used as identifier. It's weak, but probably just strong enough.
