| | 41 | We need an agreed set of [http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/UUID UUID]s for GIS Data so that we can share data more easily across systems. |
| | 42 | * !OpenStreetMap IDs can change over time if records are deleted/recreated |
| | 43 | * They can [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Tags/Humanitarian_Data_Model#ID hold additional uid/uuid fields] though |
| | 44 | * Geonames data isn't free enough for OSM: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Geonames |
| | 45 | * Geonet can be: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GEOnet_Names_Server |
| | 46 | * Yahoo WoE data is in the public domain: |
| | 47 | * XML: http://code.flickr.com/blog/2009/05/21/flickr-shapefiles-public-dataset-10/ |
| | 48 | * Tab: http://developer.yahoo.com/geo/geoplanet/data/ |
| | 49 | * Ushahidi doesn't have a common set of IDs across instances |
| | 50 | * No space for a UUID either? |
| | 51 | * Longer-term we need a common central repository of UUIDs that is held for the common good. |
| | 52 | * Propose that Sahana start this off & then give up ownership/branding later: |
| | 53 | * Sahana can use UUIDs of format: http://geo.sahanafoundation.org/<ID> |
| | 54 | * These are associated with an OSM ID & Geonames ID for cross-correlation |
| | 55 | * The Source ID field shows the source, so that OSM export can filter out sources like Geonames |
| | 56 | * IDs from Ushahidi instances can be appended to the comments field in Sahana |
