I have some
doubts about the identifiers. How will we distinguish if monument number 50 is
from Nederland or Andorra? Perhaps should it be identified with a prefix (NL-50,
AD-50), or perhaps is there any solution in mind?
Moroever,
in Spain we can find different formats in different sources: "(R.I.) - 51
- 0010580 - 00000", "R-I-51-0010580", and others. Obviously we
need to unify to an unique format and we are discussing it with wm-es, but I
would appreciate some inputs. "R.I." or "R-I" stands for
Registro de Inmuebles (buildings' register) and "51" is the category
for monuments. Probably it is not a good idea to ask participants to type a
complicated number format with spaces, zeros, etc. One solution is to reduce it
to its numeric form "10580" or perhaps to construct a simplified
format like "RI510010580". What are the technical implications about
identifiers, and which would be the best approach?
