Dear all, the Lombardia region has released the list of monuments with free license and some groups are working to ask to other regions to do the same.
In addition Italy has reached an agreement with WWF ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Fund_for_Nature) to include also the naturalistic parks owned by that association.
The real problem is that all these lists are heterogeneous and don't have a single identifier valid for all of them and there could be the risk to have duplicates.
For this reason WM IT is working around a *new* system of single identifier to have all these lists in a single repository and to avoid any problems connected with duplicates.
Kind regards
