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.
